The Pyrenees are incredible and Andorra is a giant airport shopping mall! This downtime in Spain has given me a chance to visit some new places not too far away with my girlfriend, Deb. We took a rental car a little farther than riding distance from Girona and got to explore some new towns and sight-see in the mountains. In short, it was spectacular. I can't wait to go back again, hopefully on a bike in training or racing.
Rehab has been coming along steadlily. I'm on the trainer for a bit now. Just spinning the legs and getting familiar with the motion. Its not painful so long as I don't try un-clipping. I have just been taking my shoe off on the bike. Walking on one crutch around the house is fine. Although the doctor wants me to wait another week before walking down the street with a single crutch. I'll be waiting for an x-ray or scan to show some evidence of bone healing before getting aggressive with it.

Hey Blake, my PT suggested I get into a therapy pool to rehab my broken femur. It's been awesome! The pool is warmer than normal and the buoyancy allows me to do lunges and single leg squats, although still gingerly. If you have available there, you might consider it.
Thanks for the idea. I was able to get on a trainer and do some double-leg squats pretty quickly, so that kept me busy. I am really conscious of how much weight I'm putting on each leg and am up to even weight between the two. That's just my body weight though. However, now that I'm back in Boulder, I may be getting in the pool at PT next.
