Glad to see you are back!!! Hope you continue to improve! I know how it felt to get back on the bike! I know now I really enjoy and don't take any ride for granted. I can't imagine not being able to ride again. This passion has surpassed fishing for me and nobody can believe it!

An illness is what brought me to cycling. I did 48 weeks of chemo and beat my illness. I decided that the Good Lord was not done with me yet so I was going to be in better shape than I had been. Decided I did not want to be inside a gym and don't like to run so the next thing was to get a bike and go for it. Found I have a passion for riding and can't believe I have a terrible sickness to thank for it! Started with mtb (c-dale al1 lefty)and then got a roadie(cervelo S5) and have had a blast with both. Now I also got a cross bike(trek X01) and really like it. About 7 months ago I crashed on my lefty and broke my back and tailbone. I just got back about 1 month ago. It sucked to not be able to ride but I have counted my blessings and I know it could been a lot worse! Haven't tried the lefty yet but will soon. Don't know if I will be able to ride singletrack like I used to but can still tear up on a roadie! Time will tell.
