Well, I've finally made it back to Germany, only 24 hours later than I'd
anticipated...

I'm sure you're all fed up of RR's by now, but just a couple of points.

The idea of people hiding behind an Internet persona seems to be a myth
when it comes to a.m-b. This works to most people's advantage, and yes,
it means that Shaun really is like that in real life ;~)

Why people would pay four quid to go to Nantmawr is beyond me. And
that's coming from someone with more jump and dh tendencies than
everyone else. However, it was amusing to see the jump monkeys who were
mostly crap.

I've noticed that others have complained about the lack of riding, but
who went round for the final loop? Wusses, the lot of you.

A top day - hopefully, we'll get to do something similar in the summer
at a top riding spot. With any luck, we can sort out some accomodation
for those interested and have a proper session down the pub.

Photos: http://j-harris.net/bike/nantmawr/index.html - the contrast
between the UK and US meets is quite astounding...

Mind you, I was asleep by the time we got to Oswestry. Got woken up by a
frantic Adam who announced that he'd been round the last two roundabouts
several times now, and that he needed me to navigate.

He was the lucky one. It took me four hours.

Still, we had fun. Next time we'll make sure it's something that's more

Im all for having an a.m-b meet somewhere this summer. Accommodation is a
good idea too, getting down there, riding, drinking, smoking and coming back
home may be a bit too much to fit into one day.

A 'rollie' - just paper and baccy. You'll notice that in that photo,
Andy is smoking one too. They're basically cigarettes for pikeys.

No, we drove (however long) to meet up with fellow a.m-b'ers. Better riding
would have been good (well, I woulda had to shit out after about 10 miles as
it turned out), but it was excellent to be able to just meet in person with
those folks and talk the talk.

No, not really. He did the prodding, messing about and asking questions
stuff, then said "It's not *skeletal, you haven't got a slipped disc, it's
not *cartilaginous, you have no *spinal alignment problems, and it's not
*neural". *(I had to provide him with the words and phrases (even though
he'd covered most of it already with the prompted 'skeletal'), he kept
saying "It's not uuhhmm ahhh, to do with errrmmm", heh...).

He then went on to say it was the ligaments that run vertically up the
outside of the spine between vertebrae, and that even though I didn't recall
it, that it would be trauma related, but a delayed reaction, as in
'whiplash'. He prescribed me stronger painkillers, told me to go swimming
and partake of gentle walking exercise. Also, to keep stretching and flexing
it within my pain threshold limitations.

I'm not convinced, as the pain does not increase if I move in a way that
stretches the spine (hence stretching the ligaments, only if it is
compressed directly, which would not affect 'tensile' ligaments. It feels
more like inflammation around a nerve bundle or some-such to me, but I'm
only a layman trying to implement logic, so I'm not banking on that, either.

The pills made me high as a kite very quickly, and only started to ease the
pain slightly after some time. They made me very nauseous (synthetic
chemical, but molecularly an opiate), and after a few hours later, I vomited
heavily. By last night, my back was hurting quite a lot, and the only effect
of the pills by then, was to reduce my ability to ignore pain/made me
psychologically and emotionally weaker in regard to it. I got a lift into
work from Kath's this morning, because there was no way I could have handled
the 4 mile constant uphill part of the 6 mile ride in.

I have a weekend away coming up, after that, if the situation has not
improved, I'll be doing something else about it for sure. I have never
_felt_ so debilitated in my life, not even when I had my leg smashed up (at
least I could get around on crutches without excessive pain, and often
walked 7 or 8 miles on them, and even climbed a little). I hate this, and
really feel for the people who have much more severe, and regularly
recurring back problems.

Thanks for asking Huw, sorry for going on so much!

My back problem finally subsided after using the traction device the
orthopedic surgeon gave me. But it took time. The family practice doc I
went to initially was no help, gave me some Vicodin which made me sick to my
stomach too and jittery. I've never felt pain like that and nothing would
touch it except beer. No kidding! I guess it relaxed the muscles that were
pinching the nerve and disconected the signals to my brain. Just want to
say I feel for you Bro and hope you find a quick resolution to your back
problem.

"Hmmm, beer - the cause of and solution to all of life's problems" (para).

Yup, I find it's an excellent pain killer too ',;~}

Cheers Mike! It's bugging me more than anything - I'm walking around like a
cross between Robo-cop and an old guy (no offence dude!) ',;~}

This is proving highly amusing to some folks, mind, so there is something
positive come of it.....heheheheh....

The pain isn't what I would call very 'severe', not by a long shot (compared
to some of the shit I've felt...), but it's persistent and therefore very
wearing. That, and the effect of the painkillers is making me feel
uncharacteristically 'wimpish', which is pissing me off even more (normally,
no one knows I was even in (bad) pain until it's already long gone. Yeah,
that's right, I'm tough as hell! Heheheheh...).

Glad yours eased up!

Cheers again - I been looking for something to hang upside down by the legs
from ',;~}

Cheers dude - feck though, all this concern - I feel I've made it sound
worse than it is now! I mean, I can stand, I can walk (in a funny looking
way), I can pedall a couple of miles or so (as long as it ain't all uphill)
and stuff without it becoming unbearable, I just can't bend at the waist
more than a tiny bit (to lift or owt), or run, or twist side to side, and
when I sit down (compression weight) it aches quite a bit. (It got quite a
bit worse after the little ride on Sunday).

yer at it, get the knives in the fire FFS! ',;~}

Even if it aint real bad, having anything hurting isnt cool.

Next time you choose the place, mate. Then again dead body pics
don't float too well on the 'net unless it's a celebrity.

Aye - I'm off to London tomorrow too, for the 'Winterdrum' get-together on
Saturday. I'm supposed to be sat and bent over hand drums (tutorials then a
big jam afterwards) all fucking day, heh - that's gonna be fun! Heheheheh
