Nice, Subby!
I'm heading back out to Ft. Davis, TX this weekend to once again attempt the Fort Davis Cyclefest.

I had to retire last year at the second rest stop, and found out when I got back home I had to have surgery on my other knee. Now both knees have been under the knife, and have responded pretty well. I'm still not able to ride anywhere near the speeds I used to ride, and I'm ok with the fact I probably never will hit those speeds again. I've checked my ego at the door, and picked up a triple chainring for the front to help with the climbs. My knees are doing a lot better on them, but I still can't get out of the saddle and crank. I just have to stay seated and spin for the climbs.
Only troubling thing about the ride this weekend is that the forecast is heavy thunderstorms the whole time. High altitude and electricity from the sky are a bad combo.
