Boy, it has been a long time since I visited the forum! I haven't done much riding since last fall when I started having some medical issues. It seemed every time I turned around, I had some other problem, the major one being a blood cancer called "smoldering Myeloma". While it isn't causing me any problems at the moment and I am not being treated, it is like a ticking time bomb in your bloodstream waiting to go off. Then I started having knee problems and the doctors told me to stay off the bike until they got it fixed. I did ride one day last week, for a whopping 13 miles! Amazing how out of shape I am now, I was really struggling to get home! I think I'll try to get out this weekend, even though my knees aren't completely better yet. I can't stand not riding!
