    Total Knee Replacement question!

    Thank you very much! I'm getting excited to finally getting it fixed. I have a close friend who had is done on the 18th, he is struggling but he is very overweight and never exercises at all, I am hoping mine goes a lot better. I will give updates next week!

    EUP report!

    We've been going up to the East since the late 80's, on an early December trip, that hole is there almost every year, the Beavers can cause a lot of damage the little bastards! There has been a lot of people hurt here, it has been just a small dip in the past that caught a lot of people off...

    what's happening in snow belts?

    Based on what we rode in this past Sunday in the East, Mondays warm up will have very little affect on the snow they have, might actually help settle it up a little.

    Oxygen vented shield?

    I wish I would have seen this a week ago lol! I was going to buy one but after talking to a lot of friends that have the Oxygen, they said it's hot and you must have it plugged in or it will fog. They all ended up buying the Mission Helmet so I checked those out, I felt like there was a very...

    Extended Forecast Looking Great.

    I rode the East opening day in whiteout conditions, we have been going early December since the late 80's, it's the best for early season riding due to the amount of trails that are roads. The trails up there will be amazing tons of good snow! We are going back up on the 11th-15th, I am sure it...

    Headed to Seney Saturday night and rode opening day!

    Me and a few buddies headed up Saturday night and got up early Sunday for a hell of an opener! This is a few miles north of Seney on 450, the depth doubled as we headed farther north, had lunch in Grand Marais, headed back to Seney and drove back home after a quick 180 miles on the trails. The...

    Total Knee Replacement question!

    I’ll be 62 10 days before my surgery. Up until Labor Day weekend I was biking 10-12 miles at least 4 times a week. Now, I’m in a lot of pain but doing 5 miles 6 days a week on an Echelon Spin Bike. Not able to push like I was before the final damage was done Labor Day but better than not biking...

    Total Knee Replacement question!

    It is unbearable right now and I need to be on my feet for my job. I would have had it done already but I am on blood thinners due to getting a couple stents this past June, I had 99% blockage of the Widow Maker, discovered while cycling, sudden change in my output numbers. My cardiologist would...

    Total Knee Replacement question!

    I am 61, I will be 62 when I have the surgery. Up until Labor Day weekend I was able to bike 10-12 miles at least 4-5 times a week, keeping the muscles active to help recovery, in theory anyway. The one thing I have heard over and over was do the rehab soon and often, that is my plan as I really...

    Total Knee Replacement question!

    I am getting a total knee replacement December 30th and was wondering if anyone here has before, if so, do you think I will be able to trail ride mid to late February? I am a huge bicycler and my doctor said I will be back on it hard in 6 weeks, so I assume I will be able to ride a sled...
