Nice addition, Revis! If it helps you enjoy the ride, I'm all for it. We need to quit comparing ourselves to ABs or to how we used to be. It's about enjoying life and any way you gotta do that is fair game.

I have been going out on the paved bike path in my chair, working up to maybe someday getting a handcycle. Exercise is something I blew off for over a year, and now I am trying to do it for real and make it stick. Today I turned dirt with a digging fork for an hour or so....I am going to be sooooo sore....perfect for my adapted fitness class tomorrowHow much ibuprophen is safe? Ha ha.....no really....

vjls-I think most people are paras - incompletes and incomplete quads. A few people with MS. Everyone is welcome to post whatever your Spinal Cord level and mobility is.
I'm an incomplete crutch walking L1 para with 8 level fusion from T11 to the pelvis. Chronic neuropathic pain, AFO on one foot, No sensation in either leg. Weak legs. Can 'hobble' with forearm crutches. Use W/C at home primarily. Not getting stronger... getting older.
I see you were injured 2001 -so you are in year 14. I am in year 13 - injured 2/21/02
Today - crutch walked .5 hr, elliptical trainer, Krankcycle.
Kayak on Lake Tahoe tomorrow.
Here is my friend from last Sunday - in front of "Whale Rock" - you can see the spout and the tail... His boat was a 20 ft rocket ship - Glen - Steve Garro met him last year too....

T11/T12/L1 with a C4/C5 fusion for good measure, plus just generally crushed like a grape - I have ummm, "Issues" you know??.
Mostly wheelchair nowadays, crutches when I need to, not very graceful or far.

On the One-Off yesterday. Up a hill called Skiddaw. We had planned a longer route but the weather intervened so we just went up and down. 6 hours up and 30 minutes down. When we set off it was low cloud, fairly soon after it started to rain. We got a bit higher and that turned to sleet. More height and it turned to snow. For the summit section the cloud had cleared and the snow melted fast but the wind-chill still meant that it felt well below freezing on the summit. The descent was excellent. More pictures to follow:

Adrian - you are one bad-ass. That looks like a great suffer-fest - Good job. I am trying to figure out what planet you are on with that first picture with the greens and orange colors - really beautiful.
Today, I did get on Lake Tahoe - 30 miles in 8.5 hours in a 14 foot boat.. Didn't see anyone else all day. Didn't take any pictures. Same old beautiful alpine jewel...
Steve - I will look in to those dates - I'll call you....
