I managed it

Bit of a pointless post!! But oh well...

I have been suffering from 2 slip discs for a while now and one of the things that has hindered my riding is getting on! Before anyone objects my physio has told me to ride as much as I can

Anyways, my left leg objects to getting on my boy... So last night my YM thought it would be funny to watch and help me get on on the wrong side.

Although it was interesting and I felt completely weird doing it, I made it

After an hour of riding I was described as elegant!!
I am so pleased...its been ages since I felt like I achieved something

Yey!!

Well done - it is very wierd having to get on the 'wrong' side. Hope your back is better soon!!

Brilliant news!
I know how you feel as I had sacro-illiac problems post natally which meant I couldn't get on my boy for 2 years. Once I eventually got on, I felt great and it's been the best exercise ever.

Yeah, waiting for MRI to be done again to find out what they want to do with it!

I just feel like I have gone backwards so fair and I'm so jealous of all the competition reports it's unreal! I just need my balance (with dodgey back) sorting out so I can play again

I am absolutely useless at getting on on the wrong side, I can only do it if I am stood on a mounting block/gate but it is far from elegant

is it just me or is it just as weird to get off on the wrong side to?

and Well done !

Slinkymalinky was very kind and has been my rock throughout all of this! if it wasn't for her, I don't think I would be riding still!
