2 weeks!
Good news. The doctors are happy with progress on my hand fracture - range of movement is excellent. I may not get back full movement in hyperextension of the pinkie, but that's not a major issue. The swelling around the prosthesis (the Ti insert) may not fully go away for 6-12 months, though.
The best bit: I'm allowed to resume road riding in two weeks. Cross country trail riding is OK in four weeks.

Heckler - So tough it can be fixed with rocks!
I was riding the Dam yesterday evening with two mates and just before climbing up the first lot of steps up towards the Parkway, my front wheel washed out and I bike slammed to the ground onto the rear derailleur, bending my hanger.
I didn’t want to have to walk my bike all the way back home to Queenscliff, so I tried to straighten it by hand. There was no way this was going to work so we pulled the derailleur off the hanger and then the hanger off the bike.

Terrey Hills update for 12 Jan
I rode the perimeter/ long trail last night and the surface is firm and fast....the trail is improving everyday, but not my lap times....Still the odd puddle, but nothing to worry about. Get out there and enjoy!

Manly Dam 2 Laps
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
King Street (near corner with Arana Street), Manly Vale. You know - outside Manly Hydraulics Lab.
I intend on stopping at the Dam on the way home. My intention is to do 2 laps before last light so no lights will be required. This isn't a training ride and we can stop and play on sections if anyone wants to

New trail - Kiama to Gerringong
Has anyone done this new(ish) trail, hugging the Clifftops between Kiama and Gerringong?

It's only 12 km return, but I understand it's singletrack, and it passes thru some spectacular scenery.
MTB's are apparently allowed, see: http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/lifestyle/trave...
I'm going to be in the area next week and thinking about taking the bike.

getting the exercise.
where to go to get the constant grind of some fun exercise without the constant interruption of slight rises ?
Manly Dam would be a real hoot apart from
the lip up just past the school
the grind up the road
the step up to the rock
the step up the semi-impossible rock with the frowned on b-trail to the right
heart break hill
back to the parking lot, another lap >? bah lets watch tv
me, i'd like lots of firetrail like western commission track, a bit up a bit down, sort of Andersons/Oaks WITHOUT Bedford Ck and the Glenbrook down/up

So good !
Target under 30min
before July ! And I will buy a new Scalpel
