Waiting

(See attached file: arm 052.jpg)

Waiting sucks and especially when your not very patient like me. But first thing is if you've been following along and thought that the dates don't seem correct. Guess what your right the reason behind this is up until about a month ago I didn't have a good way of updating regularly. So at the rate I'm going I hope to be up the present and not the past in a few more weeks. Now back to the waiting crap if you've ever been stuck in traffic this is how my life feels right now. I get hurt and go to the hospital and wait, come home and wait to go see a different Doctor, then go see him to wait, then wait and see how it's healing, then go back for a recheck and wait, then wait until I get a short cast, then wait until I get it off, when will it stop? I'm not sure but I'm very happy that I don't really have to rely on the health care system. Because from what I've seen of it is that it sucks.
One question I been hearing allot is "When did the Dr tell you that you can start riding again?" My answer is don't know because I never asked. I figured why ask because he's going to tell me something that I don't want to hear and plus I'm going to do what I want to anyhow. Something that seems easier said than done is riding with your arm in a cast. At first I thought no problem but after doing it sucks. It's amazing how much it affects your balance and several other things. Oh well I'm just going to continue waiting and see what happens.

I'm counting two things the days until my cast comes off and the number of races that I'm missing because of it. Either way it just sucks there's really no getting around it. Over the Memorial day weekend we decided to go camping we wanted to go to Ohiopyle. But due to waiting so long the nearest camp site we could find was the River's Edge in Connellsville. Which was OK because I wanted to ride the Rail Trail and do some hiking. Saturday we rode towards Ohiopyle and did some hill repeats on and long rocky climb. We also found a really cool waterfall it was tempting to jump in but it was a bit to chilly for me.


Sunday was fun we took the tandem or "the sled" as I like to call it out on the Rail Trail to McKeesport and back. It was pretty fun a little over 80 miles, but the thing is with riding on the rail trail is it seems like allot more work than it should be. It's flat but it's allot like riding a trainer as soon as you stop pedaling you stop and the constant sitting makes it just a bit unpleasant too. But I was happy to be riding and the weather was good.

Monday we heading in to Connellsville to get some breakfast. We did a little bit of exploring across an old rail road bridge. I thought it was pretty cool and just a bit scary, but someone else found it to be terrifying experience and was worried about getting arrested. After we got across we did a little more exploring on some quad trail but nothing else as cools as the bridge.
