Send Me Your Good Vibes!!!!


I am going in on Wednesday for the 6 week check on my arm, and my first question for the Doctor will be about riding my bike. As in, "So, is it OK if I start riding my bike again?" I've been a good boy after all. During that time I have only sat on bikes and wrenched a few in the basement.

My palm feels good enough, and if I could just get the dressings and steri-strips off and start messing around with the scar on my arm,(massage, bacitracin, work on faked out story, etc.) I would be back in the saddle again! So send me some good ju-ju! Panel of Pauls, this is your call to action! Later!

Yeeowch Gravel Man, that looks painful! Hope you are back on the bike in no time!

Thanks D-whitey! I was cleared this morning to ride all I want! I can't believe how good it felt to hear those words. Nothing like a forced denial of enjoyment to give perspective. Sloppy or not, I'm commuting tomorrow! Later!

I am singing good vibes like a Beach Boy! You are lucky you can't here me though as my singing stinks.

Heel soon my friend. We will ride together in 2009 I hope.

Thanks for the good waves dudes. I can ride at any time now, so that's the good news. I'm doing a structured OT through the hospital and have a lot of dorky little exercises to do to strengthen my hand muscles back up. I set a hosp. record on the grip machine with my good hand. 160 lbs, as compared to 60 lbs with the bad hand. Time will tell. Later!
