Floyd undergoing hip surgery today
"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

that's so scary. a coworker here, who has done some mighty tough rides just got his hip replaced about 6 weeks ago.. He's still gimping around like an old man. He's taking a spin class though.

I thought about that today, wondering what he was waiting for. How strange. Hope he does well and recovers completely and quickly.

Anyone have any update on this?
Did the surgery go ok?
Has our GEM come through ok?

Surgery successful, return to sport likely. Although I don't really understand how they can predict that right now.

The doctors at Loma Linda Medical Center are apparently already saying that he'll be able to start "light" training on the bike in 1 -2 weeks. I take it as another sign that this guy never needed to dope.
