Man Down.......

[mtnbikej]

Welllllp.. it looks like the "how long will my back hold up?" question was answered today. Ironically, while moving my bike in my storage closet.

Surgery set for middle of next week - again.

But enough about me. How to re-attach J's Ball?

Sucks to be you.

Man the 'eff up and go ride your bike.

Who would have thought that such a thing would happen to me on April 1?

 

[Faust29]

I really do hate April 1.

It's really bad karma to joke about something that could easily come true. I must appease the karma police!

Well.....i'm currently in calendar denial.....i still think today is Thursday.

Wow - you got to that edit button pretty quick. Went from empathy to taunting in nothing flat! Well played, sir, well played!

@mtnbikej great pics, looks all space age! But man that's gnarly, best of luck of the surgery and heal well and fast!

And @herzalot sorry to hear about the back, good luck with the surgery and you too heal well and heal fast!

 

[TwoWheel Eric]

Sucks to hear. Hope surgery goes well and you are back on the bike soon.

 

[Luis]

Geez dude. I wander away for a bit and come beck to this? No bueno.
Heal up J and may your ambidextrous butt wiping skills save the day.

 

[mtnbikej]

Been kinda slow going.......

However, going under the knife next Thursday.

The Ortho didn't think it was nearly as bad as us with a lack knowledge. It's bad, but not catastrophic. He says he can fix it....it'll heal properly and i shouldn't have any tong term effects.

Good news.

Yay!

Nobody likes tong term effects!

Hey now...you try typing onr handed........

 

[da big hills]

I made a good recovery ride today as my micro balance was spot on, the first time since my crash. It felt good to have better control of the steed.

 

[herzalot]

Hey now...you try typing onr handed........

Lest you forget, I did so for the month of May, 2020.

Then typed flat on my back for the month of January 2022.

I will suffer any inconvenience to post my wit and wisdom to IMTB Trails!

Nobody with a Minion DHF out front breaks shoulders down Black Star due to a front end washout. There is a lesson in my advice. Perhaps.
Yeah, I am four Lagunitas Waldos in at this point, so disregard all advice from the old, slow guy.

Just remember I have one of the top 4 times down on Strava....and wasn't on DHF's.

Top 4?? That's not even on the podium!? But I guess it's still pretty good and since your shoulder is jacked, I'll go ahead a give you that "pat on the back" your statement deserves/requires.

What counts as a run down Blackstar? Gate to .......

Gate to Gate

Gate to Gate

Which means skipping the fun bits .... and that is why you are reading instead of riding.
These are jokes of course. Don't slap me.

Yes, sometimes you skip.


And i can take it as much as i can dish it out.

Haven't you heard? There are 5 spots on the podium now. Well, 4th and 5th actually just stand next to the podium.

When we ride bikes around the neighborhood my kids always play “last one to touch the garage is the rotten egg” and I have never been the rotten egg.

These kids are gonna earn their trophies!

Don't overlook the "Gate to Gate to Gate" segment... The guy at the top of that particularly onerous route is also the guy at the top of the Luge DH.

The only sub 60 minute time for up and down.
