I pulled my old Raleigh M80 from its hook on the shed wall for the
first time in two years tonight. I can't believe it's been two years,
but the rust on the chain and seat post affirm it. I remember my last
ride before I trashed my knee in a motorcycle wreck. A torn ACL and a
cracked tibia head have pretty much brought my MTB career to a halt,
but tomorrow I'm going to try again.

The chain has been cleaned and lubed, I''ve replaced the inner tubes
and brakes and tweaked out the shifters. I'm afraid it will be a
short run, but if I can get in 2 or 3 miles without paying for it in
knee pain units when I get back, I will consider myself back in the
saddle.

Wish me luck!

Hello again everyone


Good luck and welcome back!
You may want to try to find some of us over at spokejunkies.com. This
place is not as active as it used to be (except for the trolls).
