Medellin, Colombia! Love the city! Great to see the main roads closed for runners and cyclists on a Sunday morning!

A very interesting, but tiring day! Boat from El Salvador to Nicaragua to miss out Honduras as it's too hard to get a visa! Then...the immigration system went down in Nicaragua. So, we had a 6 hour wait!! ๐Ÿ˜ญ Boat ride across was good though! Now in Leon. #nicaragua

Knee, ankle, and hand still not right, but certainly improved loads over the last couple of months. It's been a long and slow recovery process. ๐Ÿ˜ญ I'm just so glad it was all caught on CCTV.....At least I won't be financially out of pocket from it, but of course that's not everything. ๐Ÿ˜ซ

And a driver not paying attention led to me getting knocked off in Leeds in the summer.

Great thread! But shows just how crazy and unplanned so much of the cycling network is.

Hope you feel better soon. I've got tonsillitis for the second time in 3 weeks. It's completely knocked me out.
