Yup, It's Broken

I had surgery on Tuesday and now have two screws holding my right thumb together. I'm told that the recovery will be about 8 weeks, and I get the screws out in about half that. So much for bike season.

Canada Roadtrip: Day 18

Well, it had to end eventually. Jen and I hammered out the 12 hour drive from Tacoma to SLC. But not before another day of chilling on the island and a ferry ride where our captain stopped so we could check out the whales (Narwhal Charlie!). I am really going to miss water, but I won't miss biking or climbing (as soon as I can use my thumb again).

Huge thanks to everyone who gave us a place to sleep and food to eat.

Canada Roadtrip: Day 15

Today was the day to ride at Mt Washington, but I still can't hang onto my handlebars, so Jen rode while I hung out and shot photos of kids hitting the airbag jump. Luckily for Jen, some local groms took her under their wing and showed her around the mountain.

Canada Roadtrip: Day 14

Jen and I got in a much-needed rest day while traveling to Vancouver Island, and since my thumb still doesn't work, we decided to take another rest day today as well. Being from Washington originally, I really miss large bodies of water and big trees, so we spent some time at the beach, some time in the woods, and an afternoon soaking in a river. I really needed this rest day. Unfortunately, my thumb is still jacked.
