(8 months post-op) so after the big 52 mile effort last sunday, i haven't had a day off!!! i have ridden every day since. don't worry i haven't been killing myself. lots of one hour rides mixed in there with no two-a-days. with it being april in Texas i HAVE to ride to get it all in. there will be too many days this summer that will be ridiculously hot so i'm getting it in when i can.
i rode out of the house yesterday and about 10 mile into my ride i popped a spoke. i was only 2 mile away from the house at the time and i had a decision: do i go home and end the ride? go home and get the mountain bike? or just ride 20 more miles with a busted spoke... hmmm... so i decided since i had 31 more spokes and most importantly my cell phone (which i always have) that the risk of getting stranded was far less than the disappointment i'd feel if i went home at that point. i finished the ride no problem except my rear wheel rubbing the brake in the corners.
btw, the weight situation is back on track :)
weight: 293.6 lbs
