McGill McGot Him Again… Mikie is Down...

Every hour pump your ankles, bend extend knees, flex and extend your toes, 10-20 reps, while seated . In addition to thetimes you stand and walk.

 

I just did an exciting thing, I used a walker to get to the bathroom. You got to plan ahead as it took me about 15 minutes to get there and 20 minutes to get back! I don’t think I’m ready for Pedals yet. Braaap!

 

Wow Mikie, that totally sucks. We only met in passing and you were flying, but I honestly think I can keep up with you now
Please heal up soon and then we can put together a post injury party with way to many guest's of honor. And Tom, fantastic job. The world needs more people like you!

 

@Mikie, Sorry to hear about your crash brother. Good to know Tom was there to respond quickly! Heal up Mike hope everything works out just fine, now get some rest.

 

Geez, out all day yesterday helping out my mom and miss out BIG!!! Good to see you up early and moving. I'm running low on TW, but will wait to you heal up a bit to place the order.

 

Man, you're doing great! Will you be going to PT?

One option for at-home "moving" might be setting up a bike on a trainer. If a standard bike's too hard to get on, one of these recumbent trainers might be an option:

Give 'em hell, buddy!

 

Dang! Just saw this thread. Next time you run into a tree, make sure it's a bonsai (Just not one of mine)

Healing vibes!

 

Just looking at Mikie's post from 2014.... https://www.imtbtrails.com/forum/threads/mcgill-mctree-george.1350/
Look at the date and location of that crash as well, July 13, 2014 at McGill Suggest maybe Mikie stays off of McGill Trail in July right?

You should just keep a bucket by the recliner so you can start training for Kokopelli next spring!

 

Hey Noel,
Don’t sweat it. Place the order bud. Cathy and I team up on the biz. You will get the same day service like always!
Thanks Buddy!

Mikie

 

Lew, snails literally can out pace me right now...

 

@Mikie Best of healing vibes to you man! Dang, glad you are well and in good spirits. It's always the home trails that seem to do it for folks when it comes to crashing!

 

Sweet.....so she’ll meet at the Trailhead and going for a ride with us to deliver?

 

Seriously...?

 

Lurker roll call indeed. Sometimes it takes a sad thread like this one to bring them out of the woodwork.

So sorry to hear this unfortunate news, those dang trees do not give whole lot do they?

Newsflash: None of us are immortal Mikie, although we all thought you were.

Share your pain, we are all here for you bud. Heal up quickly.

Way to go Voodoo!

 

Hey Monster!
I have missed your forever encouraging words!
Thanks for chiming in Bud! Puts a smile on my face.

 

Just what I was going for! };^)

"Pedal Rock" on McGill? ...The AT has one of those. Just ask Maddoggie:

https://www.imtbtrails.com/forum/threads/plain-white-trailer-crash.4068/

 

I've been thinking. Pedal strike leads to OTB into a tree. Any chance you were trying to one up @mtnbikej's OTB on our recent Wrightwood get together?

 

I can testify! You did your best to get rid of that rock too B-Monster! You succeeded in making the trail a little wider at that spot making any kind of strike less likely! Fortunately for me there was no tree in my flight path back then!

 

OK Mikie inquiring minds want to know, where did you break?

 

Oh and BTW saw this at a Santa Barbara bike store, AWD e bike!!!

 

He was touched somewhere near the middle.

 

I think we're well beyond the "It's a bicycle" argument if both wheels are tearing into the dirt. And the slip differential doesn't help their case much either.

 

I thought we were trying to make @Mikie feel better... knock it off!!!

 

Sorry to hear, and I hope you recover quickly good sir!

Also, you owe @Voodoo Tom flowers on sweethearts day or something

 

If I remember from the crude drawing my mountain biking doctor drew for me th tree touched me...

 

Are your cheekies still the same size and color?

 

Can you show us on a Ken doll?
