“On a vacation, I rode eight hours over incredibly rough terrain from Winchester to Salisbury, a distance of 33 miles, on a path known as the King Alfred Way. Many miles of this ride involved pushing a heavy mountain bike, laden with a pack, up rocky hills. I also crashed four times on the path. There is no way I could have even thought about doing this ride before my surgery. Yet, less than a year later, I was able to complete it without any problems from my back or hip.” – Larry L.
