Patience, Grasshopper. One small step at a time, and you’ll be there before you know it.
I’m pulling for you.

Awesome photography, Bry! You made a not so scenic route look just gorgeous.

I enjoyed this post. The Heart of AZ sounds like a great ride. I just got back from doing the Tri-States Gran Fondo which stated and ended in Mesquite NV and had a great ride. I feel bad for you that you couldnt ride, but glad you were there to report this and take the pics. Good job.

Thanks for reading my blog.

The pile looked a lot like the pavement, in the darkness just before dawn. Besides, I wasn’t expecting a big pile of gravel right in the bike lane.

Hi Bryan, Glad to hear you are feeling better, even though it is a bit slow recovery. But I have a question (that may be just due to low reading comprehension): If you had your lights on, how did you not see the gravel pile ? Was it big and just blend in with the road? Not trying to be flip, I also enjoy not crashing and I was just wondering.

BTW, not trying to spam you, but I also have a cycling blog (www.chainringtales.com) that I have been woefully behind on keeping up to date. As an example, I just now finished adding all my posts from my trip to this year’ Tour de France. I used lots of your ride links to help me select some good local training rides with some hills before hitting the Alps. Anyways, while my rides pale in comparison to your hard core double century lifestyle, I just wanted to offer up some cycling related reading for your enjoyment while you recover.

Very true, bright lights have helped me avoid many obstacles, while dim / no lights are almost as negative for cyclists as cable locks in the city. Just as you mention, I find the brightest combination which also causes motorists to briefly wonder “what is that brightly lit object approaching?” seems most effective. Regarding the PT, building up the sum total of daily microscopic progress, and working thru the setbacks and plateaus, will get you there. And I can’t help but asking the forbidden question: some recumbents have handlebars down low…yikes, better just stick with the PT.

Just stumbled on your site, by way of the roadbikereview.com forums. Love it! I just got into road biking, and love hill training. Thanks to your site, I have plenty of new rides to try out!

I totally understand the way you are feeling, I like to call the feeling “fads”,
Like you have done both, but granted not in your extreme.
Soon you will be healed and off riding again, or maybe a new camera
and off taking photos again, hang in there.
