Back in the Loop

Although I never left Kamloops, I have certainly been out of the loop for a while. Breaking my Scaphoid bone in Merritt last fall proved to be one of the most difficult situations I’ve ever dealt with. Being misdiagnosed on my initial trip to the doctor lead to riding on a broken hand for a month and making the injury a lot worse. Long story short, it is May now and I’ve jut begun to ride my bike again.

Being off the bike for that long really gets to my head, but in the end things have worked out pretty well. The trails were already well on there way to being dry halfway through January so in an effort to maintain my sanity i started into the unthinkable… Cross Country riding. It was really boring at first but I started noticing an increase in my fitness fairly quickly and from then on I was getting excited for the burn. Eventually I got the cast off and then it was rehab time.

After a few months of XC riding my wrist and hand started to feel pretty strong. Between being on the XC bike and doing a ton of physio everyday I was coming back fast. I finally got the go ahead from my physio therapist a few weeks ago and things are feeling great. I back on my bike with a higher level of fitness and a higher level of excitement than I’ve ever had in the past.

As of recently I have been snapping some photos with one of our local team kids, Matty Miles. He is starting to get serious about photography and he has a lot of interesting ideas, so I love going out shooting with him. He has posted our recent rad shots below... expect to see a lot more soon!
