After suffering a ACL and lateral meniscus tear in only the second race of the season I am working hard with my physical therapist to get back on track as soon as possible.  The doctor and therapist both estimate that I will be back on the bike by the end of September.  Unfortunately I have had to miss out and sit on the side lines this season.  I discussed with the doctor the possibilities of me riding with the injury, but after careful consideration to the severity of the injury I took the doctors advice and had the surgery immediately.  I am anxiously waiting till September to get back on my bike and hope to come back strong for the 2008 season.
