Day 107 - Riding the Logstacle

I saw my othropedic surgeon this morning. They did the usual routine. Took my weight, blood pressure, and x-rays. Saw my x-rays. Looked good. Doctor came and looked at my x-rays. Said the bone is healing. It's not completely healed so I still need to be careful and not take any hard falls. He told me he wanted to see me one more time in a six weeks. I took that as a good news that I am almost healed. I went home and changed into my cycling clothes and gear, mounted the Anthem, and headed out for a mountain bike ride. I rode south through downtown Mission to the trails. It is a mile and a half from my house to the trails. At the trails I rode Easy Rider, Jackhammer, Psychopath, Poo's Forest, Tweezer, and Champain Run. Rode at at moderate pace which was half speed of race speed. I'm hestitant on the turns, not wanting to fall. I'm slowly getting my confidence back. I rode a new logstacle that was put in Poo's. See picture. I rode the rockgarden on Psychopath. And I took the Quicksand Drop where I fell three weeks ago. I finished the loop tired but satisified with my ride and headed home.
