Uh-oh, I may be in trouble now.

Yup, but I'm curious enough to give it a try. There are a couple of reasonably safe routes with smooth pavement and little traffic where I can practice.
I'm getting re-evaluated by ortho in a month or so for the pesky neck problems from 2001 and shoulder injury from last year. I'm curious to see what they say about the old C2 injury. For years the C2 was splintered into three pieces, per imaging. But last year's new diagnostics show the vertebrae appears to have healed, congealed or whatever it is bone does eventually. But it's unusually thickened and still feels crunchy in some neck positions.
We'll see. By which I mean "We'll see whether I can finally snag a legit KOM without a tailwind or paceline assist from teammates."
