Sounds like you're making some progress. I bet in another two weeks you'll be doing tons better. Hang in there!!!

Good question, Bill. For cardio, off the top of my head I can thing of a hand cycle (some gyms have them, and PT clinics usually do). You can also get exercise bands and do some upper body strength training (low resistance, high reps.) I'll let you know if I think of anything else, but I'm sure you'll be visiting a physical therapist at some point, right? They can definitely help!

Hi Bill, I arrived as part of the SAR team, but missed meeting you because my backpack disappeared from the team vehicle enroute (driver's side compartment was left open), so I spent that time trying to locate my pack.  Sorry that this happened to you, and sorry I wasn't able to be part of helping you!  I hope you recover quickly and fully.

Hey Bill, I'm so sorry to hear about your accident up in Williams Canyon. I had a bad feeling once I saw the Search and Rescue pics. I used to volunteer with them, I hope they treated you well. Get some rest and get well soon!!!

Hey Bill, I saw your Garmin Connect data for the Falcon Trail. Damn, you're fast! Keep that stuff coming. I recently got a Garmin device myself. I love it.

A different perspective for tracking activities...

As I MTB or ride my stationary or run almost every day, and while I was on Falcon Trail riding once again, I devised a new way to track my rides other than number of days or exact miles that I have ridden. I decided that I will compare my riding to real world goals...  As I ride a single speed MTB, my distances will be far shorter than those capable by any geared bike or by any road bike.  Basically, the fastest I can ride on level ground is 21mph, and that is with my feet spinning like they…

Flying with crutches...

As many of you know, I recently broke my femur mountain bike riding in Williams Canon back in January (and had to be rescued by EPCSAR - http://www.epcsar.org).  Well, the real world is setting in and I need to get back to work and traveling.  I (and my family) have done quite a bit of traveling and I am working on a blog while I have limited mobility and my experiences at different airports and airlines while traveling with crutches.  Feel free to check…

Can't scream loud enough

What a great ride I had... Started at the Bear Creek Dog park and rode the Ascent Cycling Series trails up to Gold Camp. From there, I rode up Gold Camp to High Drive and up to the Captn Jacks. Totally bombed down Jacks (crash free), then some high speed road back down Gold Camp, then exited onto Bear Creek Terrace for more high speed downhill single track.



I can't scream loud enough how great a ride that is.



I just need to replace my GPS so I can map these out and time myself… Continue
