    I was lucky, my fracture was at the tippity-top of the femur grand trochanter (knob where muscles attach). It’s been 4-1/2 weeks and has healed quickly, I stopped using the cane last friday and went on first ride last Sunday (almost exactly 4 weeks).

    I’m just a little bit broken, hope to be limp-free in next 2 weeks.

    work all day sun streaming in window, now time to bike home and it is cloudy and doesn’t look at all pretty. What a bummer.

    cloudy skies are needed for pink and orange sunsets

    At least the rain passed through quickly. Good thing because I need an extra long ride home since Dirt passed me at the top of the leaderboard. ;)

    I took yesterday off from work as I wasn’t feeling well…not so good for my points total, but great for my legs, which felt really fresh this morning.

    A mile on a bike when ailing is just the thing to revive you a bit.

    If Dirt was on team 11, they would still be in last place.

    Ride home was great. Hardly anyone on the trail. And yes the sunset was beautiful.

    I thought I was going to just do a quick mile, but before I was able to go, I found out my wife had a happy hour and wouldn’t be home to walk the dog (her exercise, not her assigned chore or anything)…so I walked him 3 miles and called it a day. I added a few miles on my commute this evening and will add some more tomorrow to make up the difference.

    That’s okay everyone should take a few days off. He he he he team six this does not include you. Ride everyday and
    Ride many many miles. I want first place

    Rode to work today for the first time in more than five years – and it definitely wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t signed up for Freezing Saddles. Granted: today the saddle was hardly freezing, in fact, this was one of the nicest days for bike riding I can remember, but I think that only proves the point. I needed a nudge to get myself out of the car and onto the bike even on a beautiful day, and signing up for this friendly competition provided exactly the right nudge.

    Will have to get the office logistics arranged better to ride on the really crappy days, but that’ll come together eventually – and in the meantime, holy crap was it nice to ride to work today! Many thanks to all the Freezing Saddles organizers for helping make this happen!!

    If it is going to be in the 60s this weekend, any interest in a group ride? I am thinking go out the WOD and have lunch somewhere? Something like

    11 am Ballston to Vienna or Reston for lunch

    I was looking back at my numbers from last year. What is truely crazy about this contest is that through the first 10 days I am only about 10 miles shy of my first 10 days of the National Bike Challenge last May when it was a little bit warmer, and a lot brighter than it is right now.

    Having a blast, see you out on the trails!

    Would love to come with, but I’m out of town this weekend from first thing Saturday morning through probably 2pm or so on Sunday. But I’m definitely going ride on Sunday, (unless I get back waaay too late), just to enjoy a nice shortsleeved January bike ride!
