Got it. My right knee has been opened up twice. A wreck at the velodrome in the mid 2000s trashed it. I got lucky though as the surgeries were solid so Iāve had very few issues since. Wish I could say the same for my fused neck. I canāt ride at all since 2018 due to that.Knee surgery from 5 years back( job injury) keeps me from Clipless now. I only use platforms now. Crank Brothers pinnned . I may need a knee replacement at some point. But riding my bicycle is the best therapy.
Thank you! Oh I know Iām not alone. Which is why I talk about things rather then compress them quietly. I came home last night to hang out with my step daughter. Itās greatā¦about 1 out of every 4-5 times sheād call me dad, the other times she calls me āDougaā. I am loving thisVery sorry about your foot. and a very BIG congrats to you and the Mrs!!! I love the story here - started out sucky but as it unfolds, it's a nice one.
On another note, I can sort of relate to you and your son. I can also relate with helping to raise a grand daughter. I am very glad that you and step daughter are bonding - this is awesome .. and yes, healing. You're not alone (in the event that you thought you were).
2nd day after is always the worst, 3rd day after even worser hang in there buddy!I ride clipless on my road bike but have cages on my mountain bike for just an extra bit of grunt when I need it. Not tackling mountains or anything like that, just my day to day rider. 47 years of riding bikes and this was my first endo, and on a casual ride at that. So stupid, it hurts
I wrecked so often Iād learned to flip and land on my hydro pack mid endo. I loved the steep crazy stuff though, going up and down. Dang I miss itā¦
