Haven’t been able to get in much practice or gym time due mainly to the injuries sustained in my dumber-than-dumb November crash. Although my ribs had healed up well enough to ride after 3 weeks or so, the shoulder injury is still not healed. It’s getting better, but progress has been super slow. On top of that, I’ve been varying degrees of sick for the past week, so the bottom line is that I’m physically still a good ways away from being race-ready.
I did get out a couple of times though – once on January 10th for about 10 minutes or so just to test out some changes I had made to the KTM’s front suspension, and again on the 16th for around an hour and a half. The shoulder was much, much better the second trip, so I can’t imagine it being more than another couple of weeks before it’s healed to the point I can start training in earnest.
In the mean time though, I’ve had to back out of the Burnt Gin hare scramble and will instead be racing a SORCS Iron Man race in Georgia on Feb 20-21 if ready, with rain dates being VXCS race on 3/6 in Dillwyn, VA, or the VCHSS season opener in Chatham, Va on 3/20.
Stay tuned….
