The Clarion ride got postponed and now I am recovering from carpal tunnel surgery won’t go ahead until next year. Will let you know when it is scheduled. It would be good to have some of you along.

I had an operation on my right wrist just over a week ago to decompress the nerve. Suddenly I have 50% less pain. In three months they operate on my left wrist.
A four minute operation under local anaesthetic. Three weeks recovery (no cycling).
I would recommend.

More than one green tea. Delicious it was too and charming company. Well worth a wet ride.
Not just cleats intact. Buttocks as well.

So after a year of tests and consultations, I am about to begin treatment for my psoriasis arthritis including carpal tunnel syndrome. The consultant has decided to seek to avoid surgery by prescribing a course of methotrexate over the next year. I had a 45 minute consultation with a nurse who has been assigned to monitor my progress in which she told me how to take the drug and discussed side effects and lifestyle changes necessary in order to cope with the drug.
I had seven phials of blood taken for more tests and, as soon as the results are back, I can start taking the drug.
Among the side effects is a 3% chance of losing my hair and a good likelihood of nausea and foggy-headedness for two days after each weekly dose.
Good news is that I can exercise and indeed exercise is encouraged. Not such good news is that, despite me having dropped 25kg since mid July, she told me to lose more weight.

Thank you. Due to the vagaries of fluid content of my body, I hit the target this morning but need to go a little further.
My body fat ratio is 26.2% and I think I need to edge that down closer to 24% to be healthy.
For those who prefer to imbibe, I can recommend riding up and then taking the train back from nearby Biggleswade station
