I'm back baby, I'm BACK! Four months ago while out training for a Gran Fondo after a winter of Sufferfest training I was creamed by an 83 year old driver and his BMW going about 50 mph. The quick list; Fractured Fibula, torn rotator cuff, lacerations, hematomas etc.. etc...

My beloved T Mobile Formula Pro frame is toast! I have not had a day without pain or discomfort in four months, 8 weeks ago I had shoulder surgery, 8 screws and 2 tendons reattached. The swelling in my leg disallowed wearing most of my shoes and any socks for more than a few hours at a time. 3 weeks ago my PT started and that's a whole new world of pain.
It has been a brutally tough 4 months.

BUT... Today my Doctor gave me the okay to start riding on the Trainer!!!! YEAH BUDDY!!!!!!
It will be a while till I can hit the road again but today I celebrated with my old Giant TCR Ltd, rebuilt by my bike shop until my new 2014 Roubaix arrives and of course a Sufferfest video, "Hell Hath No Fury."

I only managed 35 minutes but the suffering was beautifully redemptive and welcome!

I'll be touring Sufferlandria quite a bit over the next few months... Good to be back!
