4/18 pelvis fracture update, almost 3 months later doing pretty good

i feel pretty much normal on the bike now. definitely a leg strength discrepancy, but no real noticeable discomfort from the weaker side anymore.

in terms of my condition deficit, it's real and big -- giving up +2 months of training and sitting on the sofa during apr/may/jun when everyone lays down the meat of their condition makes for a big delta.

at this point in the year, normally i can hang onto the back of the A group for a good bit if i ride smart and turn myself inside-out. now, with that same level of effort, i can hang onto the back of the B group for maybe a half an hour before coming off!

here are shots from my recent trip to carlsbad, managed to get some easy miles in on a rental.

Glad you're back in the saddle! Sounds like some great progress for an injury such as that. With a little hard work you'll be giving the A groups Hell!

Recovery is the worst. Just keep at it, it'll improve.

[HenryA]

It'll come back.
Congrats on getting back on the bike!

Russia is urging people to quit taking selfies as too many people are getting killed in the process.

Glad you're recovering, but don't go down taking a picture.

I feel like I'd recognize the first picture with that squiggly sidewalk but I don't remember riding on a road like that.

The second looks to be the start of the Torrey Pines climb next to the PCH. Great riding roads out there, at least in terms of smoothness and shoulders.

Good to see you out on the bike. The leg strength comes back, trust me.

[MattTuck]

So glad you're making progress.

Keep at it and you'll be stronger than ever!

Those California roads certainly look nice, especially when it is the winter here!

This on the outside road that goes up to Scripts Hospital?
