Blimey, couldn't they have waited to winter time to do it? You wouldn't gave missed so much riding time then!

I'm waiting for an operation on my Dupuytren's afflicted ring finger on my right hand. It's difficult to get gloves on and I can only operate the front brake with 2 fingers at the moment. I'm hoping for key hole surgery which will only be a couple of days off the bike, otherwise it'll be 6 weeks...
