Ride like the wind !

It's been two years sinse I crashed my bike. I had a new Felt racing bike that weighed a little under 19 lbs dressed.  I was racing down a hill at 30 miles an hour when my tire slid and sent me flying. I landed face first into a trunk of a tree while my very expensive bike landed in a bush unharmed.  I ,on the otherhand, smashed my face ,nose and cracked my helmet. My riding glasses shattered and I required stitches on my hand. My face and neck were brused and battered.

I recovered except for my neck . The MRI and MRA showed severe damage to the c4,and c7 cervical vertebrae .  My neck hurts all the time with little relief.   I just ride a trail bike these last two years. I would like to get the courage up to strap into my shimano ultegra pedals and race again. I miss the speed and power I had going up large hills. I miss out riding men much younger. I still oil and clean my bike  and think "today will be the day I ride like the wind"
