Facing my demons

I am thankful to say that after my mountain bike accident on November 1st 2007 that left my upper right arm shattered that today was my first day back on the mountain bike. After my Saturday morning bible study I thought it would be a great time to take my mountain bike to Tuckahoe State Park and try my shoulder and arm out. The ride went very well and the suspension on my bike took alot of the stress off my arm. I have just started riding my road bike with no problem but I was afraid I would never be able to get back on my mountain bike again. I wasn’t able to ride as fast as I normally would [I blame that on the extra 15 to 20 pounds I gained] but at times when I came upon a little tricky section of trail I found myself second guessing myself but for the most part rode on through.

I saved the area were I had my accident which I have been dreading for the last 5 months for last. I was able to face that demon and rode off the bridge with out incident. Although I was hoping to be able to piece together what happened but that wasn’t to be.

I want to thank everyone who has prayed for me over the last 5 months. Even though my arm isn’t anywhere near 100% I am still able to do just about everything with it that I used to.
