carguy 1 Posted January 8, 2008 Don't sell, HIDE and tell her it was stolen. When better we will give it back, with a few miles on it to keep everything lubed up. Everyone's Happy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chief Gunner 2 Posted January 8, 2008 I believe I met you out at the Corral Canyon campground awhile back. I'm sorry to hear about your injury I was hoping to ride with you. I know your pain, I had my left Medial Meniscus completely removed back in 2003. It takes awhile to heal up and you might be able to predict the weather like I can now (deep aches means rain, sharp pinch means it's going to get cold) . But the bright side is that you may find yourself healthy enough to get riding again like I did. Hope you heal fast! Aaron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2Wheels 0 Posted January 8, 2008 Sorry to hear about it, but it'll get better. And look at the bright side. Once that piece of cartilage is scraped away, it can't tear again. Maybe the wife will come around after a while and we can ride again. The length of Baja on pavement maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogerTOWM 0 Posted January 8, 2008 Darn, sorry about that. But give it time and you may be riding with the club again. The body is amazing in what it can do. My wish is that you heal fast (but don’t push it to hard). Hammer is a nice guy and it was wonderful of him to offer to “store” your bike for you, but he lives too close to the ocean. All that wet salt air will just kill the poor thing. Now here in East County we have nice dry salt free air. So we would be much better to “store” you bike for you. And of course we wouldn’t have to put as many miles on it to keep it in good running order. Just like people, setting around is not good for a vehicle. We are much closer to the bike “exercising” areas. So Car Guy or I would be perfect for “storing” your bike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Hammerin Hammon Posted January 8, 2008 I talked with Gary on the phone Saturday and I think we better stop trying to make him lough. I think it would hurt, for him to LOL. I felt badly for him and hope he gets well soon. Craig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just when I was starting to have some real fun. My last torn meniscus surgery took over a year before the pain went away:( Boss says bike must go Hey walker, you didn't do the damage when you fell going up the rocky section of the Kernan trail a few weeks ago did you? I know you said you landed on that rock... I know how you feel. I had my ACL done back in 2001 and it was a good 6 months before I could do anything aggressive without a brace on it, and I just recently started riding after a torn Achilles tendon and surgery(the ride I met you on was my first dirt ride since September). I bet you can get the OK from the doc to ride sooner than a year if you can convince the boss... The trick with knees is the stationary bicycle - pedal for as much as time as you have. My physical therapist back in 2001 said to ride it an hour a day every day I can - it worked wonders!!! Even today, 5 years later, it gets sore and stiff when using it if I haven't been working it out on the bike like I should... I hope it all turns out well...

sandiegoland 0 Posted January 8, 2008 Can't get to Tecate Peak from that side. Can't? I think you mean there is no established trail. Which means YOU can't... Actually that side isn't even preferred for hiking. The goats even stopped going that way back in '47... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
