Who cares! Life's little twists and turns, I suppose. Not much cycling. Why visit when I'm not riding?
But then, I'm still not riding much, although thinking about changing that. Just thinking.
Anyway, so what did I miss over the past five months or so?
I read your posts pretty regularly, so sorry I didn't notice your absence, though I did note I haven't seen Chipcom in a while. Anyways, since you asked...
On June 1 this summer, I was hit from behind on my bike, on a wide, lightly traveled and well-lit road while wearing blinking lights and a reflective vest, by a hit-and-runner, who came forward the next day. I sustained a pelvic fracture and a soft issue injury, and was off work for three months. That left a pretty big void, since I was on track for a 5000 mile year.
I did keep up with Bikeforums, especially Fifty-Plus, though I have less material to post. Nonethless, I'm still keeping alive the proposal to have the Fifth Annual Fifty-Plus ride in the Metro Boston area in 2013.
