Last night my wrist and shoulder felt sufficiently repaired to let me ride my bike.I only did @ 10 miles but its a start. Still cant apply full power to the front brake yet. With a bit of luck I may feel strong enough to go to the Monotreffen @ Doornenburg. I am not yet counting chickens so I have not booked a ferry yet. I am interested to know who else is planning the trip, particularly from the Midlands.Steve I know you and Alan will be there and maybe Boyd. In the meantime my fingers are crossed. Mart
