Only you know if the injury needs training, babying, or a real rest...be wise!Originally Posted by GLC1968
For the past few days, I've been coming back from an injury and SERIOUSLY doubting if I could do my big climbing century at the end of September. I've just decided that we WILL do our ride and that I'm signing up on Thursday! (now post pictures!!)
That said, I have to say that although I've sometimes been a little embarrassed to ask so frequently for encouragement and advice from TE (can I say "self-centered?" ...sometimes blatantly fishing for encouragement)...well, I highly recommend doing just that! I've needed a lot of handholding in the past few months, and it has made all the difference...I cannot overstate that.
Please tell us all about your ride and let us encourage you! PM me if you want!
Pictures to be revealed in a few days!

Starfish, as someone who decided NOT to attempt my big ride of the year I admire you so much! You are brave and strong and your perseverance is amazing. I salute you!

Sometimes deciding not to ride takes the most courage. One thing I LOVE about cycling is that it helps us learn so much about taking care of ourselves well, in so many ways. This has bled over into my non-cycling life, too. And thanks for the salute! I'll take it! Originally Posted by IFjane

Starfish, you serve as an inspiration on so many levels. I hope I face my challenges with as much courage and determination as you have shown in your quest.
