I withdraw my earlier suggestion that you stay home and rest the shoulder. Shoulder--schmoulder... you got another one. Now that Lance has confirmed he'll be in the race... you MUST GO. And yes... we can't wait to read about your experience and the interview with Lance. Thanks! Fatty… I withdraw my earlier suggestion that you stay home and rest the shoulder.

You have to keep your priorities in check and yes, the ride will still be there. If it were me though... I'D DO IT! C'mon... Tyler rode the nearly the whole '03 Tour with a broken collarbone and won a stage!

This falls into that category. I'd say to give it a go only if you're not going to permanently damage your shoulder. Obviously you'd like to ride the Waltworks but at least at this point you probably wouldn't get very far on it. The thing to do is strengthen the shoulder as much as possible before hand and make the bike descision based on how the shoulder is feeling at the time of the ride. If the ride was today I'd highly recommend against doing it at all but in two weeks you'll probably be feeling at least somewhat better. We all know you'll be out there trying. No one here thinks you're a wimp.......LOL. Well you obviously didn’t read my comment about testosterone poisoning. This falls into that category.

Nice upright seating position, shock on the front, and 5 gears is almost a fixie. Tiny wheel on front and cheater slick on back might make for some interesting descent and traction issues. All that and it probably weighs 45#! 1971 Schwinn Apple Crate. Nice upright seating position, shock on the front, and 5 gears is almost a fixie.
