Any report on the Still River Greenway? Is it pavement or dirt?

Pavement. It was my wife's first ride since her back surgery, so we just did a mile out and back. Luckily it wasn't very busy, my son can be a bit of a menace, he's not good about riding in a straight line and staying to the right of the trail. Mostly because he's always looking back to see what I'm doing or fighting with his sister to see who can get ahead. He almost took out some poor little girl who was riding a training wheels bike with her parents.

How you feeling? Don't push too many miles too soon, aren't you a year ahead of riding a bike?

My physical therapist encouraged it if my weak leg would tolerate it, actually. I do stationary bike as part of my PT and our goal for this spring was to get me back on my bike. The 1st time was roughest on my knee (the partial ACL tear causes me problems when my knee is weak), but today was much better. I didn't plan on going so far, but they were paving and I couldn't cross to get back to work until 1 mile further down the road...which turned into 2 round-trip. Legs are tired and sit bones are a bit sore, but otherwise, I'm feeling pretty good. Going to try the road bike once I get a few more rides under my belt.

2012 MTB

April - 46.35
4/12 - Nass - 4.25
4/14 - Nass - 6.6
4/17 - Trumbull - 8.61
4/19 - Nass - 8.54
4/28 - Still River Greenway - 2.18
4/29 - Nass - 9.0
4/30 - Nass - 7.17

With how dry it's been and my dismal ski season ending so early it's not surprising that I more than doubled my April miles from last year. :beer:

Majorly bummed on the start to my road season. It has been a false start every week since the record warmth. I get in a few rides and then it gets cold or rainy. And now my elbow injury from a few years back is acting up and my elbow is tender. Tried riding yesterday but only did 3 miles before giving up on it. Trying to let it rest but I want to GO. After such a poor ski season, I really want to go for it this season on the bike. Got desperate enough last week that I went out when it was cold and a little wet, two conditions I normally avoid like the plague. Hopefully this elbow heals up quick so I can get back on it. I hate starting out from zero every other ride.

Why haven't you used the road bike, would make those miles a lot easier!
