I hate recovery. :banghead:


Hopefully in October I can start riding my MTB again.

Maybe some road in mid-late September. =\

Don't forget about me =]

Who knows man. Well see where I am at. I am actually getting kind of depressed. =\ Riding really is a huge part of my life that's non-existent right now.

Boooooooo :nopity:

Take it easy this time, man. No rushing back on the bike.

But I swear to the good Lord Jesus, if you hurt your shoulder again before next summer's Northstar season... I'm going to have to have words with your shoulders.

Keep healing up, dude. I got a remote trigger for my flash, and if it seems to do the trick, I plan on picking up another flash here soon. Great for picture taking when you're back on the bike. And moist dirt in the fall/winter looks better in photos.

I am. I for sure don't want to have anymore shoulder issues in my riding career. Working on 4 weeks now since the surgery. PT's going ok, might start weaning away from having to wear the sling 24/7 towards the end of this week or early next week.

lol about Northstar. Well see. I should be a freshly married man after that. So I should have some more funds/spare time around then.

As for the photos, hell yeah man. I am going to make a comeback. Don't you worry. I might be on a new bike for it too. Don't worry, still Tomac. But something new none of you have seen yet. =]

I have a few plans for my comeback...

It's okay, I forgot you too.




Nah jk, how can I forget the Misfits jersey and dear lord your shaving thread. I swear that is horribly burned into my head. No matter how much I want to forget it.

Awe man that sounds brutal. I have seen so many gnarly injuries from people playing basketball.

Thank god I don't have the hand-eye-foot coordination needed to play that game. I am cool with horse.

Well, I'm actually only guessing that I'm going to northstar.

Next friday through sunday is my bachelor party. I'm getting tossed in a sprinter panel van and taken somewhere. I was told to bring my big bike and season pass, so I'm guessing northstar :D

I'm also not quite sure who all is going other than I know Clancy is driving the van and it sounds like at least one dude is flying in from georgia. :thumb:

That does look nice. But the thought of internal 8 speed with disk brakes sounds SO rad and low maintenance!

Looks like the Charge Mixers will be available sometime next month. Booyeah!

My buddy works at the Trek Store in San Jose. He showed me their new belt driven single-speed cruiser. It's pretty frickin' awesome and SUPER smooth. No chain slap or anything. I'd mob one of those if they weren't $1,200.

BUT, you never have to lube anything, and the belt is made of a carbon fiber and something combo, so they're rated at like 80 years ride time or something ridiculous. And carbon against metal... well... there's basically no wear and tear on the moving components (besides tires).

That will be a real road bike. I will slap some drop bars on it and be golden. =]

And I am down for some road training with you as soon as I can ride.
