This morning's trip to the doctor was both good and bad.
Good:
No circulatory problems
No nerve damage
BAD:
Soft tissue damage to toes, foot and metatarsal area
2 week course of prescription strength anti-inflammatories
Accompanying painkillers originally developed for bringing down bull elephants
2 week cycling ban until feet recovered, dammit!
This gives me the excuse to miss the Offa's Dyke Audax (which owing to the amount of climbing I would probably have failed to finish anyway) and focus on my preparations for LEL. I will try to get another 200km in before LEL, just in case I fail to finish and thus miss my RTTY.

- Reforming fat bloke, who resurrected his life by cycling a stage of the Tour de France in 2008, and failed miserably to repeat the exercise in 2012 at the tender age of 50. Yes, it is a mid-life crisis and no, it's probably not cheaper than a sports car. Now trying to be the new millennium's version of Tom Good

Get well soon and enjoy the rest. You'll probably find you needed it and you'll come back stronger.
