Hi everyone, I thought I'd check in with finally some decent news. I've stayed away since I didn't believe I had anything much to contribute, plus I no longer have daytime access to the computer so my time has been stretched kind of thin.
I thought I'd let those of you who might not be on bikejournal.com's forum know that I'm finally after a year and a half back in the saddle. I started taking real short rides in the neighbourhood the beginning of June and just this week, I had my first 11 mile ride (1 hour 18 minutes and some change) since my back injury in Nov '06 and knee injury Dec '07. I'm hoping to stretch my ride out of my backyard very soon and possibly get back to the might Monon again and beyond.
It feels great to be back on the road
Mary

Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches
