Even when curfew lifts I still have to heal from my second wild hog hit while on a night time ride. Latest on July 26th at 3:04AM resulted in fractured Tibia still not healed and first on April 27, 2020 resulted in 2 cracked ribs + punctured lung + cracked Scapula + left shoulder trauma that paved the way for a torn rotator cuff from a crash on July 4, 2021.

Started the year with my monthly night time 100 mile FULL MOON RIDES but Prostate Cancer (PCa) issue put a halt to those rides just 4 months into the year. At 72 it's harder to bounce back from health issue but I'm determined to continue as hard as possible until I die. Now another PCa issue just popped up with latest blood work so ????
yikes man! wish you well!
