Incapacitated!

Never thought that it would happen to me, for I always considered myself a self-assured and cautious veteran on the bike, who knows what I am up to. I never challenge my bigger counterparts on the road, or take unnecessary risks when negotiating the turns and slopes. It pays to be careful than to dabble with unnecesary risks. That is my philosophy. You may get more than you bargain for when you are a show off.

So it is with great distress that I am now incapacitated, especially on a glorious long weekend like this. My ribs ached every time I breathe, walk or laugh not to mention riding down the coastal road or running in the stadium. It is not the pain or the bitter medicine that I find it hard to bear, but the immobility that confines me to my chair, that I find stifling.

I would be out of action for a while. Pink lady will get her well-deserved break, and I, have to take the bus obediently, at least for another week.
