Hang in there Bryan, next summers road trip will be here before you know it. If your plans include any part of Utah let me know and I can get you some info.
Glad to see you are starting to heal. I know what you mean about missing the ride. I had shoulder surgery last month and will be off the bike for the winter. Lucky for me, my good bro and riding partner takes my scoot out for a run every week or so to keep it's blood flowin in the wind. I don't want it to feel like it's a piece of furniture. Must admit it's rough seeing my scoot go down the road without my butt on it. But I do get to hear what it sounds like to other people. I'm glad you have some great plans for the future. It will be here before you know it. Best of luck to you!
Bryan- Ran 15 miles today...The last one Was a real tough one but thinking of you laid up wishin you could be on your bike gave me a little extra push!
