Finished!!! It needs rain badly (very loose). After it rains, I'll make the berm at the end bigger.

It's good to see Anita Handle getting some spins in. I'm 6+ weeks post-op and all I can do on the stationary recumbent is move the pedals back-and-forth in the mid-zone. The focus for me initially is isometric exercises and gentle static stretching, along with getting back to normal walking gait mechanics. Overstretching the hammy at this stage could spell disaster for me; so I'm going to just take it slow and easy with gradual progression for another 6 weeks.

Not too bad for a rattle can and ebay stencils. It will look better after after a rub and some clear coat.

Oh yeah, I'm strictly on the streets and hike and bike path. I can't tolerate any hard jarring and want to avoid the chance that I would need to suddenly catch myself with my affected leg like we have to do more often than we realize when riding off road.

Yo, thanks for asking. I had my arthroscopy done three weeks ago as of today. Was able to jettison the crutches after 24 hours and do an easy, easy bike ride within one week. No PT with a therapist but I've been doing the prescribed exercises and inching up the ride time by 5 or 10 minutes every day or two as my knee allows. I rode for 1.5 hours the day before yesterday and it was a bit sore the next day. Overall, I think I'm recovering like I should be but it does suck to be losing fitness as the days slide by with no intensity.

Kick its ass. My PT started with slowly using a hand bike with one hand. Every day got better, it's worth the pain and effort.

Nice work! yes, many things look better "after a rub".

Trashcans in the middle of the trail? That's ridiculous. Most trailheads have trashcans...and if they don't, you're supposed to pack it out, leave no trace, etc. Bunch of entitled jerks.

For me, after my ankle break, the most depressing thing was losing 3" in calf circumference (they measured that and range of motion on my first day), but it came back fairly quickly just working hard at it. Y'all keep hitting the PT as hard as the Dr. allows you. You'll get there.

If you've got a gravel or road bike doing some light spinning on a hike and bike might help you get there a little quicker.

Just remember that PT stands for Physical Torture. This, combined with the fact that most mountain bikers are at the very least closet Masochists make this a match made in heaven, right?

Started PT today. Will be slow and easy for a while but it feels good to be doing something. How's it going with you @Anita Handle? Are you rehabbing yet?

Cafeend was busy this morning, thanks!!! If we get a few people to show up this evening we should be able to get Deb's Drop reopened.

god damn, forgot how good this was.

Me to. Good eats. What is funny and makes me laugh to this day is that the joint that took over there just pasted their sign over Mann BBQ sign but left the Donns at the top. So it reads Donns La Taptia Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Saw these guys open for Les Claypool. Really good. Along the same genre.

Shit just got real.
