I think I'm finally getting better.  I started on oral steroids on Thursday and they seem to be helping.  Today was the second dirt jump clinic.  I had hoped to practice much more before this event, but alas I'm been feeling poorly.  Nonetheless the clinic went well.  I rode off the second drop (for the first time).  I also did well on the jumps.  We then progressed to a switchback which I rode and then a beginner jump line which I also rode well.  My hope is to get one real mountain bike ride in this week and one day at the Colonnade.  The downhill bike should be ready by Tuesday, so I still need to figure out how to pick it up.  Other than today's clinic, I've been laying low and taking it easy.  I'm still trying not to overdo it.  The interesting thing about going back to the dr. on Thursday was the lung test (my language).  The previous Tuesday I took the test and managed a 260 (it should be over 400 for my age and height).  I took it again on Thursday and it was only 300.  a little better; but not good enough.  

Sick and tired of being sick

I've been home sick since Thursday.  Today I went to the doctor and found out I have bronchitis.  I'm now on antibiotics.  I'm ready to be well and wanting to ride my bike.  I'm hoping I'll be well enough to get a ride in this weekend.
