Hey everybody, how are you?

For those of you that don't know me I used to post on the forums quite a bit but got kind of burnt out on it. So after some time off, a horrible season and a couple bad injuries I am trying to make a new return. I've got some recovery time in front of me and I hope that the forums will supply me the motivation they once did so I can find myself back in the saddle sooner then expected.

I am from Flagstaff, Arizona.... and yes it snows here unfortunately. Right now I am a college student, but I am hoping that the end is near so I can move on with my life. I ride only road bikes, and have a new one sitting in the corner just dying to be ridden.

I hope all is well with my all my old friends, and I hope to soon meet many new friends. See ya on the forums.

Welcome back Badger. Did you make it to RAGBRAI this year? I didn't see you (imagine that! :D ) .

Welcome back Ba-Dg-Er. :beer:

It's good to see an "old" familiar name.

Sorry you had a bad season. :(
I guess you mean racing, or was it just a bad riding season?

Got any new bikes that we haven't seen? :)

It was a bad riding season.... one crash while out training that ruined my bike and then last month, a stupid freak accident that ruined my knee.

I do have a new bike, a new Cannondale that I love... I will get some pictures and post them soon!

Welcome back. I think you will find that the questions and the answers are pretty much the same as when you left!! There are only so many of each!!

Glad to see around again Brandon. Hope your recovery went well.
Now for the big question; Where the hell is Big-Bird! :)

I go in for Surgery on Tuesday the 15th.... hopefully I can be back on the bike within 4 - 6 weeks and training hard for next season. I am sure it will be fine, and come back stronger then before.

Hey there, Badger. You get that knee back in shape and maybe you can hit RAGBRAI this year. :)
