how slow am I?

No riding for the MP this weekend, right?

That's right. Looking like 6 months of no riding from what the doctor said, but we'll see. I am planning my comeback. Be warned!!

Lance Armstrong is a remarkable bike rider. He has/had access to all the latest technology, the best bikes, the best training, personnel trainers, etc. and almost unlimited funds to help train. Training was his full time job. He won the Tour de France 7 times with an average speed of 24.99 mph.

Lenusik if your "normal spead" is 20- 23 mph I think you could be the first woman to ride le tour.

Yeah, but Lance is riding over several mountain stages. I can hold 20-23 on a flat road without much problem. Put me in a mountain and I a) cry like a baby and b) drop in speed significantly.

good luck on your ride this weekend! please be careful!!!!

everyone one of my epic rides (which of course aren't as epic as the death ride or your doubles)... have all be PROUDLY completed... but completed slowly (or rather to the best of my ability!)... but hey.... i finished! and THAT was what important to ME!

Thanks for the good wishes, Cali, but I am not riding the Death Ride or any of the other doubles I had planned for the rest of the year. Or the FC 508.

3 - 6 months off the bike. I had to buy trail running shoes.

Sarah, does this mean you're feeling better? I mean, it has the word "running" in it. Does this mean you're up and around?

Thanks, Amy. I guess my clots are better, but I am actually having more pain, which stinks. I bought the shoes in anticipation of being able to run (or, actually hike quickly!) soon. Like maybe end of next week. For now, I am taking it pretty easy, though I did go intot he office today and I am going up to the Sierras this weekend to cheer on DH at the Death Ride.
