Mostly back after being semi-AWOL - but my off-road headspace is meh.

I spent a whole summer riding gravel roads after a big wreck. Just give it time. Clinics help, too.

I'm OK with the thought of just sticking with what I know I can do, for now. I'm really eager to get back to CX, too...what freaks me out is dodging trees. The women who put on the free clinic this weekend are talking about doing more, so I will definitely hit as many as I can -- it was good and FUN!

Owlie, I did do about a month of PT once I was out of the cast and brace and it really was a great help. Now just trying to do as much as possible and make normal use of that wrist seems to be helping. Mostly I just have to be patient, I think. It took 2 years before my sprained left ankle felt mostly back to full function/strength/flexibility. I'd be happy if my wrist were good-to-go in just a year.

Poor Zoom-Zoom. I am thinking of you.

Joints are dumb. I never quite got back the full range of motion in the ankle I broke as a teenager. (Granted, being a stubborn teenager I wasn't as inclined to do the exercises I was given. )
