It's dead Jim!

Both my rotator cuff and my recently resurrected trainer bike specialized.

The first visit with the PT today confirmed what the doc suspected. My rotator cuff is torn but to what extent is unknown. In the mean time I'll be starting PT tomorrow and the MRI will follow next Monday. I'm not looking forward to doing PT twice a week for the next fouor weeks, but if it will get me healing I'll deal.

Today has been a bitter sweet bike day for me. I had a great spin at the shop, picked up a cool Free Agent for a young boy in need. Daniel sold me the bike way below cost, mad props to Cycle To Fitness for being charitable. I was giddy and excited about the Christmas gift for the young lad so when I was pulling into my garage I totally forgot about the Allez on my roof. :(
















Well that's what's left of it. Actually it's in amazing shape for being wedged between my car and the garage. The rear wheel is slightly bent, again. The fork sheared right off too, but that is all the additional damage. The Yakima tray however is toast and the bar for the rack is a bit bent along with the factory luggage rack. The mighty Allez will be getting a freebie steel fork to continue it's trainer duty. And me, we'll I'll get back in the habit of hiding my door opener as soon as I put the bike on my car.
