Last Saturday I road on dirt for the first time since my crash in Sept.

Lame/tame trail, pretty views in San Pasqual Valley. Was awesome.

Ribs are healing well. Lung not so much. Had another 600 ml (a little over a pint) of fluid removed from around my left lung two weeks ago. Fortunately, the docs’ advice is to do what I can to breathe deep (i.e. ride bikes and continue breathing exercises, blah , blah, ride bikes and not crash) and hopefully force the lung to expand fully. Best prescription ever.

Good to hear — keep it up! Let me know if you want some company on a ride.
