Complete recovery from lumbar stenosis surgery, I'm told, can take as long as six months to a year. So I'm looking forward to a very satisfying Spring (winter in Buenos Aires) when Tyhee nears the end of the permitting process, we get our hands on a very positive Feasibility Study, will have seen gold over $2000,the HUI over 700, and I can get back on my road bike to resume training for next year's competitions... Thanks for your concerns.
