Lo all.

I havnt been on for a while cause of a certain re-occuring illness that has been a result fof cycling....

Many of you know i was struck with epididymitis not to long ago and was on a 30 day riding stop per docs orders. I believed it was caused by an improper saddle angle and height. I had the LBS fit me and adjust everything and 20 days after i was riding again i found myself in the hospital again after a 20 mile training ride.

i was diagnosed with torsion... from cycling trauma.

The results were terrible and life altering to say the least. Needless to say i am now through with cycling. I will still lurk and everything cause the people here are amazing but i cant really hop on a bike again. Im keeping the bike i had just finished creating for fun and memories. Be careful out there guys (and girls).

Special thanks to Eddie B for all the help in cycling and more
Absntr and Dolface for all the knowledge.
165 and msngr for the giggles.
And everyone else who constantly rocks off socks.


I hope all of you the best luck in racing, riding, and life.

Drink up and ride hard.
