That possibility did occur to me. The kids would love it (duh! it's chocolateOriginally Posted by SadieKate
). Lemme propose it to him and see what he thinks.
I'd have to work out the logistics. < Thinkin' aloud here....> My bike can fit in the back of our van, so we can all drive over, he and the kids could have lunch with us, and then he'd probably just need to find something for the kids to do while we're riding and drive to the factory to meet us.
Did I get that right that we'd meet for lunch before the ride? And the ride is about 30 miles? At a leisurely pace, would that be about a 2 to 2.5-hour ride....correct me if I have that wrong (I rarely ride 30 miles at a leisurely pace these days...the group here has gone speed-crazy).

I believe the schedule is Ride, Eat, Tour. We'd have to check with the Ride and Eats Director.

Put me on the ride list too, I'm assuming this won't be a crack of dawn ride?

What's the prognosis? Healing as planned? Faster? Higher? Stronger? Are you planning your comeback?

I am healing well but doc says no bike yet (it's been a month since the accident). He wanted me to come back in another month for an x-ray (I saw him a week ago) but my health insurance ran out today and my temporary insurance won't cover "pre-existing conditions." Because I was a student, not an employee, I'm not eligible for Cobra (probaby couldn't afford it anyway). No job yet, so I don't have stellar insurance yet - but I'm covered if something horrible were to happen....
so the short answer is I don't know. His expert advice, sans x-ray, is "if it hurts, don't do it" Right now it still hurts to lift anything that weighs more than a glass of water (you'd think that would stop me - hahaha)....
I'd like to do the 12 mile ride for Bike Against the Odds on 9/10. I'll have to do a test ride a few days before to see how I feel. Flat may be OK, but I'm not sure about the 400 feet of climbing on that ride. I realize that's nothing but I guess I won't know until I try.....
Thanks for asking! Can't wait to see you all!
