You may not relish it but welcome.
Hey Stap, long time ...
I missed the Bday ride on Jan 1, but today still felt like "birthday continued," so got a short hilly ride in anyway. It was a must-do.
Snow has pretty much melted from the streets. A couple of slushy patches, and I did hit one large snow chunk during a moment of brain fart, but it just exploded in the path of the mighty Rockhopper FSR. (Used to ride a little snow/ice on the trails anyway, so no biggie.)
The new crank installed right before the injury was Mmmm shifting like butter again. Makes one want to ride, ride, ride.
But the neck is still dicey, so I'll have to just be patient.
As for ride my age -- well that would be a record for me, but more chance of doing that than scoring my age in golf, I reckon: maybe when I'm 90?
