Year of the "Bent Flipper"........
Did somebody say something about April? Okay, so I'm a little behind schedule, but some things are unpredictable - or maybe unforeseeable. Well........... let's be honest, there are two types of bike riders; those that have crashed and those that will. Maybe it was simply inevitable, but still - here we are anyway.
The reason I waited so long to post was simply to get back on a bike - any bike, before I officially started the season. Before the crash, I had a pile of hours riding the foothills on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. That ended eight weeks ago, so I'm pretty much starting over. I've been spinning for the past three-plus weeks, but only with marginal results. The ride tonight was just a little scoot with the new mountain bike. Enough time to know where my limits will be, so no hard single track for the next few weeks - at least. Back on the spin bike tonight, I did have a little better attitude.
I'm really looking forward to this year, as I think we have a solid plan. I'd be lying if I said I'm not nervous, but I'll get through that eventually. Confidence is low and I'm still hurting, but that is just an excuse. I can choose to turn the pain off when I get over-cooked, but that goes against what I've always said. I need to suck it up and put it behind me. Eventually, it will pass. No scars, at least not from this crash, just some residual swelling. I've got to keep a focus - all around.
So..........for those that are new to "the porpoise"; stick around. This is gonna be great! Those returning.................thanks for keeping the faith.
