I would sure love to do Knoxville. I rode over that road once in a Moonlight Century in the middle of the night back in the '80s (long before the Knoxville Double got started), but it won't be this year. I still don't know my surgery date, but hopefully I will find out a least a tentative date this week. Maybe I can get back in shape to do the Davis Double next year. That would be a nice even 10 Davis Doubles for me, so I would really like to do it again.

I'll be starting off from absolute zero when I am able to ride again, so I'm thinking 6 months minimum before I can do a double. I really have no idea how climbing on a recumbent will be for me. I have many great 3000-4000' climbs within an hour's driving away (and one 1800' climb only 2 miles away) so I can get plently of practice climbing.

I will be back on a bike (or trike) as soon as physically possible.
