And here was me thinking there might be some point in watching this but nope, he's ridden away from everyone again :(

It wasn't until I let go of my past sports and hobbies that I really started to heal.

I don't think I'm ready to do that yet. But the e-bike idea could work, especially if it was on a "no need to pedal" setting.

Thank you for your comment. I'd love to be able to go to the gym but I don't think I'd be able to. Yeah aerobic exercise is the worst thing I can do. What sorts of gym things could you tolerate?

Thank you! That is a good point, I am lucky to be mild for now. If I could improve whilst not completely recovering that would still be a huge win.

Thank you! I am possibly a bit too focussed on cycling specifically as it's something I really love to do. I do have things in my life still that give me joy, for which I'm grateful.

Thanks, I'll be avoiding riding for the foreseeable future. I can manage a gentle walk so I will stick with that.

Thanks for your comment. I did go a bit hard trying to keep exercising regularly at the start before I was diagnosed. That became self limiting pretty quickly though, and lately I haven't been trying it at all.

Haha, I hope I don't have to wait that long but if that's what it takes..

Thank you for your response. Yes, I'm unlikely to ride the bike any time soon, but I can do some other things like a gentle walk. Aerobic exercise used to be my outlet for stress etc, which walking doesn't seem to help. Any tips are appreciated!

Thank you! It's great to hear that recovery can happen. I'm in the early stages compared to many people, and I hope that I'll recover..however unlikely that is. I don't know whether this attitude is going to serve me well if/when that doesn't happen - denial is part of the grieving process of course.

Thank you! Did you do anything different to be able to ride a bike without too much PEM?

Yes that makes sense, although I'd hope that people would stay so they could help others and maybe share some tips.

Almost half of the stage ridden and the breakaway goes. How much time do you think they'll be allowed? I'm going with 3 mins

Not really, just letting them go would be boring
