I decided just to go on this small cycle as I had a pain in my arse just sitting around . The reason I was doing that was b ecause firstly the weather was crap and also , moe importantly , I had a Bakers cyst at the back of my left leg . A veryu sore thing to have and it just shows how much you use your leg to do nearly anything . Very annoying . It is I think getting better but gradually . BTW that bit of info cost €65. "Sure i could have told you that myself " as the Mammy used to say . I had originally intended to go on a big cycle yesterday , Wednesday 10th May , but that was out of the question because the chances were that it would be painful , a chance I did not want to take . I intended going from Wicklow to Kildare , which was about 60 -65KM . It involved going over the mountains from Glendaloch to Kildare through Turloch Hill . Anyhow I was glad i did not go as it was really chancing it . But I did enjoy todays cycle even though it was only a mini one . For the past day or two i have been putting the freezer bags onto my knee to give a bit of releif so it is a bit satisfying , I suppose .
