[Dj1962]

Hi all..just a quick message..

I had a bypass 2 years ago..and last Saturday i managed to cycle 100 miles..something i never thought i would do again ..😊 so my point is never give up..🙏

[gilreid1]

Well done to you. For the record cycling 100miles is something I would never do 😂 36 holes of golf in one day enough for me. Congratulations 🎉 and keep going

Fabulous news, what an achievement!! Well done 🙂

Bravo! I regularly did century rides before my heart issues, and I'm slowly working up to that again. Did 40 miles on Sunday with no issues except a sore butt...

I'm due a by pass this week, so it's very encouraging to hear this. I'll be happy just to dance around the kitchen again.

Congratulations!! I am looking at the same path but my bypass was the end of Jan 22. I jumped on my bike post the 12 weeks point as allowed.

Question for you. Did you have physical pains in the ribs and lower sternum for a while whilst the muscles got back to being used to support your weight on a bike? Doctor's sat it's normal but thought I would check!

[Dj1962 in reply to CyclingTime]

Hi fellow cyclists..When I started cycling post surgery, there was discomfort in lower sternum and I have to say i still on occasion get a twinge..what i found more of a worry was the fear of falling off and doing damage to the chest...

For you it's early days, so take it easy and most of all enjoy..😊

[CyclingTime in reply to Dj1962]

Thanks for that, my wife is definitely more worried about me falling off than I am but it's definitely a concern.

What's next C2C, leJig, London to Paris ? Either way fantastic effort on the 100 miler!!

Big congrats mate 100 miles is very impressive after such a big operation and comforting for people to know, as an ex biker myself the most i ever covered was 65 miles when fit. Like you said never give up 👍.

[Joliv61]

Fantastic achievement

[Afibflipper]

Wow 🤩 well done indeed! 👏 keep it up

[it-whiz]

As a fellow cyclist, that is still a feat - well done you. And for a good cause too!!

It takes time, but you've shown heart issues aren't necessarily the end of an active life, although I think it does make us appreciate our wonderful bodies more!
