Emily---Progress Report?

Emily---Haven't seen you post anything on your "back in the saddle" progress. How are you doing? I hope the dogs are staying away!

Hi Suzanne,

Sweet of you to ask! Actually, I have been posting when I can. I updated my blog (see link below) last weekend after my bike club had a "welcome back" ride for me, which was so sweet of them. I posted about it, but you might have missed it; this forum has been really busy lately (and so have I); I can hardly keep up!

This past week I did the WOW (Women on Wheels) ride on Wed. night (17+ miles) and rode a little over 15 miles today with my husband. I'm not up to really long rides yet, and I'm slow on climbs, but I am really feeling good - a lot better than I thought I would at less than 4 months since my accident.

This afternoon, Barry and I volunteered at a rest stop at our club's annual "Bikefest" century, and I had a great time chatting with other volunteers and riders. Everyone who knew me was happy to see me out and about and doing so well. It felt so great to be a part of my cycling group again and cared about by so many people. Cyclists are just great folks!

Thanks for asking about me!

Emily
