The Team send off

The day before I left, my Rehab team sent me off with a gift of a jersey and cycling shorts and a patch to sew on my Safety vest. I am very grateful for all their work and encouragement through the accident, healing and preparing for Sea to Sea

They are Jen(seated), Kubet and Robyn...missing Cheryl who was the first to assess the damage that had been done.
They also gave me the jersey and shorts I am wearing. You have probably read the jersey issues that I have encountered. Mark, the regional manager, had the same difficulties. I had given my size and measurements to Jen and Mark took them into a bike shop. When he asked about a jersey that had my chest measurements, the clerk looked at him and asked "What are you going to do with that?" Mark told him that they had a client that was doing a long distance cycling tour and they wanted to give me one. The clerk said, "There is no long distance cyclist with a chest that size." Well, actually there is one!
This machine is the pilates reformer that Kubet has been torturing me on for the last 2 months. You have to admit it does resemble the midevil stretcher.

Thanks to everyone at CBI for the jersey, cycling shorts and all the work and encouragement. Looking forward to seeing everyone when I return.
