Getting back on the bike...

Mike's off the bikes with his troublesome ankle at the moment, so he's goal-setting: 

I'd love to ride the 334 mile GAP / ATA trails from Pittsburgh PA to Washington DC self supported (probably with a bike trailer) before Claire leaves Pennsylvania in June.  I'm not sure that's going to happen: there's just so many variables: my recovery from ankle surgery, getting back to fitness, and Claire's work and visa issues.  And let's not forget that I don't even have a trailer yet!

I have my eyes on Cranking The Shield, a 3 day 235km mountain bike stage race in Ontario that doesn't kick off until September.  So that may be a more realsitic proposition.

I'm hoping to get back on the road bike in less than a fortnight (within the comfort of my front room and with the security of the turbotrainer for stability). Just gotta hope that Donna the physio sees it that way.
