Sigghhhhh ... doctor's orders, natch ... physical therapy's ahead of schedule, and I feel good. It's looking like June at the earliest.

yesterday was divine: the first day of Spring, Ed's birthday and signpost registering four and a half years of marriage: coupled with perfect cycling weather, it couldn' possibly be surpassed. My wife and I rode eight miles, noting the riverfront construction which will alter our normative route. It was an invigorating return to the saddle.

Nah, not gone yet.

I haven't given up on the promise of this site, as envisioned by Ed last year, except that it isn't the best time for me to be leading the cycling charge -- and not because February was cold as hell.

On March 27, I'm having outpatient surgery for a shredded rotator cuff in my left shoulder, and this will put me out of two-wheel action for a couple of months. My surgeon ordered me off the bike in January so that I wouldn't hurt the shoulder any worse, and those of you who know me can attest to how disruptive it's been to be forced to drive to work every day after logging 2,700 miles last year on the hybrid.

The other news with me is a good omen for biking season, 2007, once it begins: 40 lbs lighter than last year, and hoping that fewer components snap this time around.

These comments are placeholders only. When the weather gets warm and I'm able to get back on the road, it is my hope to revive this blog. Stay tuned.
