To maintain the average ride speed, riders will ride far faster and far slower at times. While not required, a cycle-computer is helpful to judge average speed.

Yesterday, Ken was moved from a regular hospital bed to the Rehab Center at the hospital for physical, occupational, and recreational therapy. He still has limited use of his arms and hands and is in pain finding it difficult to sleep. He continues to have a positive attitude. He will start in earnest with the therapy this morning.
For those of you who have asked about visiting him, he welcomes those short visits: Asante Hospital, Room 6366 (two rights from the elevator). They lift his spirit. Thank you.

Hi Ken,
I'm a brand new member from the SF Bay Area. I spent last week riding with the club and loved it. I culminated my week by doing the Up and Down ride with two other club members.
I really enjoyed the camaraderie of the club and the peaceful nature of riding in the Ashland area. Given the bucolic area I was shocked to hear of your crash and wish you a speedy recovery. Maybe we'll get to ride together the next time that I'm up there.
Best Wishes,
Stu Berman

Ken, it was so sad to hear about your shocking accident -- you're one of our most safety-conscious riders, and the Greenway is supposed to be a "safe" place for cyclists to ride. Best wishes for a faster-than-predicted recovery! Your Slo-Mos will miss you and we all look forward to the day when you're back in the saddle again.

I always thought of the Greenway as safe, at least compared to riding on roads. Well, that premise is out the window now. Best wishes for speedy recovery.
