Welcome to my blog. It varies how regular I write posts here. I sustained a 'Traumatic Acquired Brain Injury', and a six month coma from a 'road traffic accident' whilst cycling, in October 2006. I spent the following 4 years (22-26yrs old), in a combination of hospitals and rehabilitation homes. Now, I have been living independently in Surbiton, England since October 2010. This blog begun life in December 2010, as i realised that there are many people worldwide that i want to share experiences with. I know that, as a wheelchair user, I am obviously not as mobile as i wish, so, use the internet to connect to you. I enjoy letting my thoughts represent through type. I type honestly. As numerous readers, as well as email recipients, will understand, I find typing to be very therapeutic. Thank you :)

The best Olympic sport, here, on 'my roads'!

Special.
Although not entirely finished yet, i have watched the Olympians race on roads that i used to train on regularly. Wow.
On Saturday, i stood watching the racers in a very special place competing for gold, in Richmond Park, the venue in which, 5 years ago, i suffered my life altering 'traumatic brain injury'. Now, packed with crowds, i was watching the sport closest to my heart amongst fans in 'my Park'.



Enthralled by this previously unseen British interest in the cycle sport, i decided to join fellow fans on the following day, in my lifelong hometown, Kingston. I knew that i had found a very good (probably best position), as shown below


Just as the first police motorbikes appeared over the bridge, they were accompanied by the mightiest lightning strike. This meant only one thing. 



  Although the best possible positions were found, photography was not allowed to be best due to road furniture, and weather. But this adds to the reality, of it being here in Britain.
