So, why does it seem like I have these freak injuries? I went to the orthopaedic surgeon yesterday for my shoulder. The x-ray showed a possible "bone bruise". Not broken, not fractured, but bruised. I need an MRI to really see it though. Also a possible rotator cuff issue too.

Anyone ever have a bone bruise? Well, I just did a little research, and these kinds of injuries have only recently been recognized, due to the increase in MRI usage. And they're a bit painful.

So here's my 3 choices for riding tomorrow in Orange County, CA:
Holy Jim, Aliso Creek, or El Moro Canyon.

Anybody hear of these places? If so, can you recommend one over the other? I'm going to be riding one of these tomorrow. This riding friend of mine is highly recommending Holy Jim, but I don't want to die - lots of climbing around here.

Okay, so I got this road bike the other day. I hope it will help my endurance for mtn biking. So, does anyone have a suggestion for a route, perhaps in the 20-30 mile range leaving from West Bethlehem that doesn't have a lot of traffic? I just want to get out for a quick ride after work, but leave from home.

Feel free to PM me, I am well aware this is a mtn biking site.

So, it's St. Patty's Day 2009, and I'm riding my bike to go meet some friends and share in some Irish cheer, and most importantly, to check out all the guys in kilts. It's not everyday you get to see guys in skirts.

Of course I'm wearing my standard St. Patty's Day gear - you know the kind: green shamrock bikini, green helmut, green gloves and all those green beads they hand out on this very special day. Granted it's a little chilly going downhill at 20 mph, but it's St. Patty's Day and wth, why not?
