the recovery machine is complete...

it took me a couple weeks but I finally finished my building of the new '08.5 Ridley Helium road bike...I took my time as I been slowly returning to riding outdoors via my suspended MTB which is easlier on the body...

the Helium weighs in at 16lbs...not bad for an XL frame and the components I used :-)

Some fiber for morning diet?

the build continues on the Helium...

first outdoor ride in a long time...

Yesterday I went out on my MTB for an easy ride to see how I am feeling this spring. This was my first ride since the biking accident last July. I felt decent out there and realized how out of shape I am but it felt great to just get out there and do it!

Today I am sore...
