By the way, Mrs. Grouch and I are heading to Xenia May 1 to 4 for a (mostly) recumbent rally.

Glad to see you are back!!! Hope you continue to improve! I know how it felt to get back on the bike! I know now I really enjoy and don't take any ride for granted. I can't imagine not being able to ride again. This passion has surpassed fishing for me and nobody can believe it!
An illness is what brought me to cycling. I did 48 weeks of chemo and beat my illness. I decided that the Good Lord was not done with me yet so I was going to be in better shape than I had been. Decided I did not want to be inside a gym and don't like to run so the next thing was to get a bike and go for it. Found I have a passion for riding and can't believe I have a terrible sickness to thank for it! Started with mtb (c-dale al1 lefty)and then got a roadie(cervelo S5) and have had a blast with both. Now I also got a cross bike(trek X01) and really like it. About 7 months ago I crashed on my lefty and broke my back and tailbone. I just got back about 1 month ago. It sucked to not be able to ride but I have counted my blessings and I know it could been a lot worse! Haven't tried the lefty yet but will soon. Don't know if I will be able to ride singletrack like I used to but can still tear up on a roadie! Time will tell.

Your description of the cause and treatment of your ITB issue was interesting to me because while I don't have that malady, I do a series of strengthening exercises to stave off overuse injuries. So your description confirms for me that I'm on the right track. Glad you're back on the bike and may improvement continue.

I'm currently in Williamsburg, VA with a couple cousins on vacation but will be back for the rally. Hope to see you there.
