Let's pretend this is page one (I totally missed the start of this breaking news thread).

In all earnest Pcad, I'm sorry for your trouble. Get well soon. In the past week I've met on a ride 2 guys 60+ who live to ride and ride to live. Their fitness and hammerage levels were impressive. Why just today I schooled three youngsters on a local ride that included one of the regions more challenging climbs. They tried to charge up at breakneck speed, wilted at the mid-point, allowing the old guy here to reach the crest first with a 500 meter long sprint and several bike lengths ahead. Then I crushed them on the 4 mile descent.
You're not finished. Get back in the saddle... as soon as you're able.
