I pulled my old Raleigh M80 from its hook on the shed wall for the first time in two years tonight. I can't believe it's been two years, but the rust on the chain and seat post affirm it. I remember my last ride before I trashed my knee in a motorcycle wreck. A torn ACL and a cracked tibia head have pretty much brought my MTB career to a halt, but tomorrow I'm going to try again.
The chain has been cleaned and lubed, I''ve replaced the inner tubes and brakes and tweaked out the shifters. I'm afraid it will be a short run, but if I can get in 2 or 3 miles without paying for it in knee pain units when I get back, I will consider myself back in the saddle.
Wish me luck!

You aren't allowed ot talk about anything here except ME. -- I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to humans ("pure habitat"😉. Want to help? (I spent the previous 8 years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)
Please don't put a cell phone next to any part of your body that you are fond of!
