Glad to see you are making progress. Yep, it seems to take a long time and as we heal from one thing something else crops up. But, you'll make it.

By the way, what do you consider a "repectable distance on a road bike"?

OK, I wasn't sure whether you had a fixed mileage in mind as to what is "respectable". Some folks I've met figure you have to ride a certain distance in a specified time to be "respectable".

Don't know anything about the riding in Michigan. But, I understand from the folks I met in Hawaii it is a pretty good place to ride in the summer and be from on the winter.

Hi Louis,

Thanks for the update and best wishes for your continued recovery. Are you planning on the 3rd Annual Fifty-Plus ride in Ann Arbor in July, with the Ohio gang? I'm a Michigan native and it would be a nice reason to visit the family.

One of my colleagues, a sweet young native of Ohio went to Ann Arbor for a wedding last year. She graciously brought me back a University of Michigan souvenir, but said she felt "dirty" when she went into the souvenir shop. :twitchy: :rolleyes: :lol:

Thanks.

I meant "respectable" as compared to the distances mapped out by the ride organizers of the Michigan ride that Jim was asking about. Nothing more, nothing less. I suppose I could have worded that sentence differently.:)
