Tour de Fest - Appleton, WI

[janetsplanet]

I am not sure if I can do the entire ride or not this year.
I severed my tendon on my pinky 4 weeks ago and I get the splint off and checked on 072406. Right now I am only able to do about 25 miles without the hand going numb.
It was getting better but last weekend I got caught on Lake Michigan in 3 foot waves in a kayak and being the beginner that I am, I clutched and freaked out. By the time I got off the lake, my finger got about 2x bigger than it should.
The doctor was mad I was even trying to ride and paddle but geee summer is a short season right?
I have gotton back to 10 miles with no problem so far and not sure where I will be by then. I paid for it but will have to let you know...I would think I may be able to do the 40 again but again, it depends on the finger...


I am still waiting for you to tell us about your trip.....

Yes, at this point I think the 70 miler would not be a good choice for you. If the routes run like last year, we could hang together for most of your distance. I sure hope the weather isn't like this past weekend. That was a killer for riding.

Look for GRABAAWR under Adventure Stories. mtbdarby and I both wrote about how much fun we had on that trip.
