Congratulations on your one year anniversary of a huge hurdle dealt to you in your life. You have went to the exreme with your progress.
My crash was two years ago on Labor Day and when we ride on that day, all the thoughts come back. I watch the clock and think what I was doing at that time. My crash was a far cry from yours as I only had a fractured shoulder, but I can relate with your feelings of getting back in the saddle. The number one thought was how quickly I would get back to riding, and how the love for the sport has increased over time. I finally found a town official that might have some clout in improving the roads. I will contact him after election day (I am optimistic he will be re-elected). He is also a cyclist

YOU GO GIRL ! ! ! !
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Thanks for sharing this celebration with me. This forum has been a great encouragement to me.
However, my wreck was small compared to what invsblwmn is going through right now. invsblwmn, I think of you often and hope that every step goes better than anticipated. I think that you are strong in a way that never even hoped to be. I wish I could do more to help you. It will be a priviledge and honor to ride with you.

Its going great! After today's ride, I will be at 5470-ish. I think I have to average something like 52 miles per week to end the year at six thousand. But, I am aiming to have that six by the end of November. That, of course, depends upon how cranky Mother Nature wants to get. Originally Posted by silver

That's a very inspirational story Silver. I'm sure you have inspired many women here on this forum to up their miles...I know you've inspired and encouraged me. Thank you.
