Bucket List Rides
In the weeks after my injury, I'm not sure what facilities I'll have when I get mobile again. I discovered that Team Movistar's Pablo Lastras was retiring after an 18 year career -- after having crashed at the Vuleta ao Catalunya on Stage 4. At the time of the crash, they thought he had broken his femur, but it turned out that he sustained the same injury I did. His just happened at a much higher velocity. Pablo's recovery hasn't been so good -- they're not sure if he'll require a new hip or even a prosthetic leg. When I read those things, and I think about my former teammate Patty, and what she's been able to do, I realize that it's not the end, it's just a page being turned. But in that thinking, paraphrasing Tyler Durden, "What would I have wished I had done, while I could still ride a bicycle?" And of course things like "Ride across the United States" and associated things came to mind. My wife told me that I should write these things down, so here they are.Long Rides
