Let the training begin

Ok, I've been a bit quiet since Christmas on account of me having a damaged tendon in my right foot.
The Abductor Digity Minimi or the little toe. It's still sore but after a 2 injections I'm starting to get some improvement.
I'm allowed to start riding now but with a few restrictions.   No hill, no pills, high cadence and keep the knees together.
Only 4 months to go until WEMBO.  It's all paid for and accomodation is arranged. Now might be a good time to start training.
