So tomorrow I'm going on my first road bike ride since my infamous bike accident last July. I've ridden since then, but only on my hybrid on bike paths, which is a very different experience. But I love biking along Lake Champlain, and I've promised myself I'm going to take it very easy and not do anything nuts. I still contend that I'm not going to road bike as much as I did before, but I might do it on occasion, if this goes okay.
So I'm wondering: many of us here have suffered injuries, not just while skiing, but while doing many other activities, too. It's part of the price we pay for staying active. Me, on the other hand, had never ever been injured doing anything until my accident last summer. Color me lucky. So how did you handle returning to the activity in which you were injured? Or did you give it up entirely? I think my mindset would be different if I'd been hurt while skiing. I mean, skiing is everything to me, and I only bike to get through the off season. I really have reservations about doing something that could jeopardize my ability to ski. What was your experience? i'd like to hear.
