Saturday started off riding down to the dragon boat festival on the Schuylkill river. It was a georgeous day and Treasa and I later met Jill. It was a bittersweet day for me, because I was supposed to be racing today on a boat. Since I broke my leg in July, I had to drop out. If you have never seen a dragon boat they are very large and have a total of 22 people on board. There are 20 rowers, one drummer, and a person that steers the boat. Usually the drummer wears some sort of funny hat or costume. It was very crowded, but it seemed to run as smooth as silk.
It was really nice to see Jill and talk to her for awhile. I have not seen her in months. Seems since I have been out of commission, I have lost contact with most of the people I used to see weekly. Mountain biking has been my social outlet for the past 16 years. I really miss all the rides and conversations with my friends. I will be back soon:)
Today I finished another project bike of mine....I know it is ridiculous..but I had to get another bike to make 9. My blog is called....... Frankie 9 bikes:) Against my doctors wishes, I went to VF park and actually rode on the trails. I felt pretty good and even rode over some logs. I have a really good brace to wear on my leg while biking. I didn't go back to the trail I got hurt on, and I don't expect to be riding anything that technical for another few months. I may even wait until spring to make my return to the site that has changed my life for the past few months.
Have another doctors appointment on Friday. It will be 14 weeks since my surgery at that point. Have my fingers crossed for some really good bone growth.

Next Saturday is the trexlertown swap meet/ flea market. I LOVE this event. I liken it to being a child and going into a giant toy store. I can't wait!!!!!!
