This year's 2011 Texas Mamma Jamma Ride will take place October 1st. Last year I rode 72 miles on my mountain bike. This year I finally have a road bike but got a diagnosis back in May with eroded cartilage in my knee and a torn tendon and tear in my cartilage in my hip. After some unpromising visits to the orthopedic surgeon and physical therapist, I was uncertain if I was even going to be able to bike again without injuring myself further. I was pretty much down in the dumps about the prospect of ever doing much cardio again.
Because of strange twist with fate I ended up seeing a new physical therapist that was able to finally give me hope. I love my new physical therapist! I just rode 30 miles over the weekend and my body feels good. I have my eyes on 27 miles. I don't think I'll push it beyond that because when you think about it 27 miles is actually pretty decent. I don't want to chance my mobility. I've had enough surgeries that I do not need to add knee or hip to my list.
Please consider donating towards my ride. I strive to help others and promise to continue to work hard to make a difference in the lives of others touched by cancer. Can you skip your next latte? Even $5 makes a difference. Many thanks in advance!
