Thankfully I can ride on the road, but since I discovered my love for the trails I find I really don't want to spend a lot of time on the road...not that I won't do it I do hike when I've a chance, but right now that is my only other allowed activity.

I guess that I am still remembering my lengthy recovery from overuse injuries LAST winter that took me off the bike entirely for about 4-5 months. Time indeed does heal all and no, your thought about the CF kids isn't depressing but a reminder of how fortunate we are. Poor kids...

It would help if my supervisor didn't keep telling me how silly it is that I am not planning on giving up mountain biking, but that's ok. He only does that because he is concerned and really doesn't understand the love for riding.

I think this is bothering me more right now because some of the swelling has returned to the front of my throat and I thought I was past that
