I did not realize how horribly burned out I was and how much damage I had done to my body over that 24 months stretch. I am the guy who was seriously considering finishing that last 100 miles of a 600k on one leg, surgery or no surgery. You are on the right track. It is all still in front of you in terms of cycling. Most of those guys you name hit there prime in their 40's....you got some time in that respect. Me? I am really starting to feel the itch again. I have made it an official year off now. My LSR buddies have been popping me up. It is getting harder to say "no". :-)R9 - The Teacherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01812167143492652382noreply@blogger.com
