Ernie,
It’s been a while - time certainly flies. C does suck but cyclist treat it like it’s just another hill. I hope your recovery is uneventful. Sounds like we both know the secret to surviving. Pedal that old Wisconsin made Schwann and the others too. I bought a FS Enduro and recently a Gravel bike. I ride about 75 miles a week which is probably equivalent to 125 road miles. Heading out for a gravel ride through RSF and Lake Hodges now and will roll through C&C on the way back.
