Cecily:

I sympathize with your missing the riding, especially just now as the 
weather is so encouraging of being outside.  Looking to the future, I've 
had two friends that have had knee replacements.  Both pursued the 
post-surgical physical therapy as aggressively as possible and were 
actually cleared to ride within 90 days, based on their rapid progress.  
One even motivated himself by booking a big, hilly tour so he had to keep 
on track to meet the tour date.  Good luck  keep us posted.

 Cecily, 

 What a bummer!  I know how frustrating this must be. It drives me Looney 
 when I'm forced off my bike for even a few days. I daydream of those days 
 when my body always cooperated no matter what I threw at it. Today is an 
 entirely different case I'm afraid. I can only imagine how painful your 
 knee pain is. 

 I agree with Ryan about your fortitude, you and betty will prevail. 

 Much Love,

 Thanks for asking, Hugh. 

 I'm off the bike for the foreseeable future, I'm afraid. The knee has 
 deteriorated to the point where riding more than 30 minutes is difficult, 
 and hills are right out. I still take it out for short joy rides now and 
 again, but I end up regretting it for days afterward. 

 I'm still waiting for a surgery date, after which I'll be barred from 
 riding on the street for at least 6 months. I'm understandably bummed.

Did Curtis take you by The Path bike shop for an official weigh in?  Loads 
of fun finding out our bike weights, and not really caring all that much.  
I'm sure the shop guys had a good laugh about it.  Good to see things are

There were no weigh in! For now Curtis is the World Heavy Weight Champ.
This is a fantastic dirt ride!

 Did Curtis take you by The Path bike shop for an official weigh in?  Loads
 of fun finding out our bike weights, and not really caring all that much.
 I'm sure the shop guys had a good laugh about it.  Good to see things are
 still green along Trabuco Creek.

Hi All,

Thank you all for the Birthday well wishes! It was an extraordinary
Birthday! Thankfully I have an understanding wife who understands that
besides being with her my next favorite thing is being in the saddle and
camping! Being rained on only made it all the more adventurous. This
camping spot has been so well received by all the Riv riders here in SoCal
that our Mike S. reserved another night in May. May you all have the wind
at your backs and good friends to pedal beside you.

Check out my 13.7 mi Ride on Strava:

From near O'Neill. We road a few miles to a good breakfast place Latte Da
Bagelery on Plano Trabuco Rd. Then back tracked to jump on the dirt.
