Hi everyone… It’s been a long time since I have posted anything but I haven’t really been doing much the last month… After hurting my knee a couple of months back I decided to get it checked out just before I went on holiday to America.. The day before I went to America I had a scan on my knee to see if there were any damage and if there was we would be informed while away… America was awesome I had a really good time and enjoyed the experience…
While away though unfortunately I got the email saying I had turn my cruciate ligament (ACL) which was gutting news. After returning back off holiday I decided to do Weston Beach Race Thanks to Alistair from Sandbach Scrap Metal for the use of his bike which was a complete waste of time as I fell off on the start and luckily wasn’t injured then the race was canceled due to the injured riders. Hope they all make a quick and full recovery
This weekend I decided to race at Bielby with White rose MXC for the hangover meeting. It felt like years since I had rode a bike as it had been 5 weeks since last riding. I was a little bit tight and stiff and didn’t really ride the way I wanted to but I managed to win which was good as it will be the last race for me this season so it was good to end with a win. I seen the specialist last week to see what was best for my knee and it was decided I needed the operation and the specialist referred me to a specific knee specialist in Sheffield. I am going to meet him next week where hopefully I will be able to get the operation as soon as possible so I can start my winter training as soon as possible. Overall this year has been a good year for me except having hurt my knee right at the end of the year but things happen so I’ve got to get on with it. I would just like to say a massive thanks to everyone this year that has helped me. Owen and heather at Manchester Xtreme Yamaha, Mark at Muk Junkie Bike cleaner, Neil at Pro Action Suspension, Martin my mechanic and my mum and dad.
Thanks ASH #82
