    Well, 9 weeks to the day. I just had my follow up appointment with my surgeon and he has cleared me for getting back on the bike. He said no airtime and that I should avoid steep singletrack for a while until I feel I'm ready.

    I'm in no rush to get back to gnarly single track. I think a crash now would be pretty bad. Also, my back feels great but it's still pretty weak. That being the case I think I'm going to stick with commuting, road riding and blackstar social cruises until I feel great. Still, super excited to be getting back on the bike.

    Yooo hoooo me! See you on the trails (fire roads) soon!!!

    Thanks!, doing any social blackstar cruises soon? I'll end up being super slow and I may only make it half way up, but I think it's time to get out of my cave and get social!!! lol

    All of a sudden this looks more possible, though not definite. What's the planned roll time?
