Back in the Saddle Again

Man, it's been a rough summer between injury and work. On top of the broken sternum, I fractured a vertabra in the June 22 bike wreck. Add to that a project implementation at work, and you get the case of "all work and no play make Brett something-something".

But things are looking up this fall! The biking down time gave me some chances to continue to hone the mushrooming skills (I'm still alive--another win!)and rediscover the fun that is hiking.

As far as the bike? Well, got out with sweetie last weekend for 40 miles and 4,000 feet of elevation on the fireroads in Michaux and while I was ready to be done with the ride by the end, it felt pretty dang good.

Here's to enjoying the golden time of the year and staying healthy.

Who allowed you into the internet? i thought you were under a self-imposed exile.

That's just on my own time. Work pays me for this comment nonsense.

Good to hear that you're back! Hopefully I can get up to Michaux soon so we can ride!

I understand that it felt good to be back, but did you come to the conclusion that 40 miles of fire roads is something you'd recommend for others? Are you shooting for 50 or 60 miles this weekend? Just curious what I' missing out on....

Glad to hear you are doing better. I was actually thinking about heading down to Tuscarora to do some 'cross exploring this fall as I have never ridden in that forest. Kind of a replacement for not doing Iron Cross since I'm out of town this weekend.
