Yo LCI!! Glad to see you guys up there killin it in the videos. I've had some health issues in the last few months, but it appears that I've survived. I managed to buy my season pass online the other day, so hopefully I'll be up on the hill for another season of tormentoring soon. Steve

Anyone up for a mellow road ride in Denver this weekend? I'm still building up again after a couple of months of beer and percocet, so I'm not ready for a serious ride yet, but it'd be fun to break up the monotony of riding alone so far this summer.

Hey LCI.... I had to stop reading the boards a while ago since reading about all the fun I was missing was getting depressing. The arm finally got to the point where I could almost completely ignore it a few weeks ago, and finals ended a week ago, so I finally got out on the road bike again. It was sort of unplanned, but I knocked out 40 miles on my first ride of the season, in a pretty pathetic (compared to the end of last year) 2:30. Hopefully I can get a few more rides in this week, if the weather cooperates, and get my legs back. Wouldn't mind another shot at 3 sisters, or even Apex, sometime this summer. Steve

Ouch Arne... sorry to hear about the wreck. Hope you heal fast. 75 days isn't so bad though. Great riding with you this year.

That's the best you've got? Looks like you're slipping... my money may be on DT now too... better step it up!

I'm feeling better than 50/50 about this weekend, but I've got a lot to do down here. Saturday might be the only day I can head up, if I make it.

I don't know if the LCI can accept that concession without seeing the picture in question. I think you need to post it.

Working her over? It's been like 2 weeks and you still haven't beat this one yet! Though I did like the shopping cart.... close, but no cigar.

Next year, can someone please remind me not to get taken out by any skiers a week before a huge storm?

Pain is starting to decrease for the first time since the wreck... not sure if it's healing yet or if it's just the doc's advice to take advil consistently so there's always enough in my system to reduce the swelling. I'm hopeful for riding next weekend, but I'm still playing it by ear. Oh yeah, when anything says "alcohol may intensify these effects", that's a recommendation, right?

I second this. Keep it going though. You know what they say about laughter, and the magic pills the doc gave make you all seem quite hilarious.

Ha! That's the plan, as soon as I can move the arm without being so high on percocet that I'm horizontal already.

I think it should be fine... doesn't seem to be any serious damage, just painful stuff, so I think if I take it easy I should be ok. I am quite bored though... it's unfortunate how many of my hobbies require 2 hands. Ink, I should be able to get you the ticket tomorrow. You're still working near the bike shop, right?

well, good news... my arm isn't broken. The doc said he couldn't believe it when he saw the x rays, he was ready to talk to me about orthopedics and stuff. As it is, I'm supposed to keep it immobilized for ~3 weeks, so I'll see you guys in april. I hope there's still snow by then.

Awwww, RIP BDFCII. Save a spot next to it for my arm... still hurts like hell. I'm going to have to give in and go get it x-rayed in a day or two. I generally avoid the doc, since they're just going to tell me to stop doing fun things, but it hasn't improved in the last week, so maybe I should get it checked out...
