Interesting comment. Did you serve?

I am following up on my post from last July. Lung surgery (left lung pneumonectomy) followed by chemotherapy which finished late November. My positivity was definitely dampened by reality and chemo but the beautiful weather we had a couple days ago inspired me to get out on my bike. I only...

Thank you for the honest feedback. I am no racer these days but I will push myself. It will be a while before I am on a bike again. I'm planning and keeping that goal. I will find out about my pathology next week which will decide if there is any after treatment like chemo or radiation...

Thank you for the support!!! I'm hoping to get back on my non powered bikes. I'm 59 and my doctors are very happy with my progress in this very short time. I know it will take a lot of time to recover but I am plugging along. I'll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. If you guys know of...

I recently had my left lung removed due to cancer. It was only three days ago but I am looking forward to riding again eventually. Does anybody here have experience or know someone who has experience on recovering and riding with one lung. I had always been on the fence about e-bikes but now...

Not my thing but I get it now.

I have no idea what that means.

I salute you. I don't drink much anymore. It took a while to get that under control from my Navy days. Athletic Brewing has some good NA stuff.

¿Dónde está la cerveza? :cool:

Very cool experience you had at Mondraker in Spain. I had the fortunate pleasure of seeing Benidorm and Palma de Mallorca when I was in the Navy back in the 80's. I found the culture very welcoming and relaxed. Spain is one of my favorite places.

Are you having laparoscopic or open surgery? I had open surgery, with a mesh patch, for an inguinal hernia at the end of October. I would agree 4 to 6 weeks. Be kind to yourself during recovery but get up and walk around a bit. Do not try to lift much during the 4 to 6 weeks period and when...

This must be a thing. I was diagnosed with right side inguinal hernia yesterday. I guess the left side repair from 1997 got lonely.

Fabricated a fatbike fender out of some materials on hand.

Do you normally wear glasses? From what your post indicates, you do not. It will take a little time to adjust to a new prescription. I've worn glasses for a long time and found I don't do well wearing tinted, polarized lenses in the woods. The shadows and light from different angles will...

Thanks for the clarification. I've never run into a issue with anyone there except one person who thought my SC Tallboy was an ebike because of the giant rectangle downtube. I stopped and showed him I was a 56 year old engine with crappy batteries :D

Yes, those are the areas I am referring to.

Does anyone know what is going on with Trailforks showing a number of the Blauvelt/Tackamack trails off limits to mountain bikes? This does not correspond with the trail map on Palisades MTB site. Seems to be a very recent change.
