It's all about the lungs

Despite the collar bone injury I felt I could not sit in and watch the tour de france as it reached the Alps on Saturday if I hadn't been out on my bike. So I dressed like a tour rider and went out and rode like an old lady. I kept up a good speed for about 2 miles and then felt my lungs were colapsing, I've not been on the bike since the accident on the 12 May ... it seems sitting on the sofa eating chocolate hobnobs has not helped maintain fitness :( Some turbo sessions required I think :((
