I'm BACK!!
Woo! Finally! Rode for 3 hours yesterday! First day back from the c-bone "incident"! My g/f sewed up my tights, so I was good to go.... 'til I hit the dog.
Yep, that's right. Some little scumbag long-haired chihuahua thingy ran in front of my tire while I was doing about 23MPH. I wnet down on my left side and tore up my knees and hip. And my tights. Sigh.
The dog had a broken back, and wasn't there when I rode by today. That was a nice change.
Anyway, just wanted to shout about being back on the bike! It feels so good!!!!

Welcome back! Hopefully you've met your quota for accidents this year, and the rest of the year will be with the rubber side down.

9 miles today, first day back after flu and bronchitis. It was all I could do, too. What a winter. Knee injury around Thanksgiving, cold at New Years, and then the flu about 20 days ago. 20 lbs overweight, and I am a slug. This is sooooo embarassing...well, 100 days and I am a cyclist again.

Hipcycler: tore up the skin. lol
Mojo: Au naturale, baby! I wanted some neat extra component in my shoulder, but the doc said it wasn't worth the risk. Oh well. Now I've got an interesing bump there.
Thanks all for the words. I'll try and stay on the bike from here on out.
