Trying again... I'm going out for a South SJ ride this Sat.

No riding for me until this stupid elbow thing is over. Or as the doc says "sure, ride your bike, if you can do it without squeezing your brakes...." Doc is a smartass....

If you plan an uphill only ride think how virtuous you'll feel and how you can laud it over the rest of us who think half of every ride should be downhill! So, ride up Mt Ham and have someone get you at the top.

I'm hoping to make the Memorial Day ride. I'm really babying my arm right now - not using it for anything! My backup person at work is doing all the heavy work, so I essentially sit at my desk and read email and the TE boards! I can't grip or lift anything with my left hand (as in lifting a water bottle or carton of milk). Friends at work keep scolding me for not wearing a sling.

600 mg of vitamin I with every meal and at bedtime seems to be helping bunches. I hate the bandy thing I wear around my forearm, near the elbow, but I guess it helps. I may wear it on my first ride, for the support. (ooh, what an attractive tan line that'll leave....)

OK, once again I've missed something...

Snap honey, what happened to your eblow?

spazz - who had "tennis eblow" once also, but not from tennis I had to get a cortizone shot in mine... that was owww-ee!

[snapdragen]

You got it - tennis elbow. I'm desperately trying to avoid the cortizone...

I really hope you're feeling 100% again soon, Snap! Do you have any idea how you ended up with this malady?

[snapdragen]

The god awful downhills on the Top Hat. I hate twisty downhills like that, so I was gripping my handlebars too tight. Probably the #1 reason I won't ride Top Hat again.

Beelzebub Boulevard will miss you.
