Back to Life...
To disable ads, please log-in.
Almost two weeks have passed since I was hit by a car. Parts of that have been painful, and remain so. I have limited range of motion in my arm, bruised ribs which make certain things rather uncomfortable, and a few other maladies.
Still I've been working hard to get back to riding, and I have
As my bike was wrecked, it was time for a new one and here she is below - a 57cm 2007 Trek 1600 WSD. I am sooooo happy with this bike, I love the color, the controls, the feel - everything.
Yay for riding again - I missed it lots and lots

That's a pretty bike!
I feel good enough to take her out for some serious miles... very soon!"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

Thanks for all the encouragement - I see some of the same folks writing now who wished me well after the crash - that's sweet
OMG - I admit it, I'm a sucker for a pretty bike. I'd be slow on $10,000 just as much as a $100, so I figure I might as well ride a cutie

That bike will make you feel all the better. I'm glad to hear you're coming around, Cassandra. I broke my shoulder and my elbow (different times), and as long as you work through it, you should get your range of motion back (believe me, it hurts like h-e-double toothpicks but is worth it). I'm sending a lot of good karma your way.

I'd wondered how you were doing and if you were back biking. Glad to hear you're the mend and that you got a new bike already.

Glad to hear you are on the mend. Great bike - love the colour.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Sweet color (same as my Giant
) May the next million miles be strong, fast, and safe as houses.
