Back on the saddle wishing I still felt invincible
Well, it's good to be back and on a new bike. I had a nasty group wreck a few years back that destroyed my bike and skin as we were prepping for a race. I haven't ridden since
but I am back and trying to get past the Fred stage quick.
Safe riding everyone and enjoy this beautiful season!

Glad to hear you're back at it. Sorry about the wreck. Has it taken this long to recover or were there other reasons you stayed off the bike? Either way, you're back at it....good for you! Enjoy every mile!

You're not in the Fred stage. A man without scars is a sad, sorry animal.
And you'll soon be invincible again, just keep at it.
Nothing makes me appreciate time on the bike, like a forced lapse like this. Enjoy!

I was only in the hospital for a day. Road rash was bad but no broken bones. Most of it was just having a newborn and younger kids as well. My job also changed from a facility that was close and had a shower to a pretty long commute. Looks like you have an inspiring success story from your signature, congrats!!!
