I've found that RWGPS surface information isn't necessarily accurate. I don't use Komoot so can't compare its accuracy on this point.
3 years agoJeez Louise!!
What a process. And amazing that were able to fully return to cycle touring! I can imagine those first few months of limited/no mobility were excruciating in every possible way.
That's unreal! I got there about the same time, around 11, and hung out at my platform - Binario 1. Should have hung out downstairs!
3 years agoOh, the Verona train station! For some reason I misread this at first and thought you were at the Trento station.
That really is surreal then. We were in the Verona station at the same time. We were there from 11 until about 12:30. If we’d just looked around! What track did your train depart from? Ours was on Binario 8.
Oh, that’s funny. I was impressed that you’d made it all the way to Bolzano already. Making it up to Trento is impressive enough.
3 years agoCool is exactly right. It will be more comfortable once the heat comes on for the winter.
3 years agoIt’s a pretty serious injury, requiring invasive surgery, lengthy recovery, and extensive PT. The injury is still treated the same way it has been forever: by making roughly a six inch incision down the front of the knee so they can reach in, pull the tendon back down from the upper thigh where it’s been contracted up to and bolt it to the kneecap.
I was basically on my back for the first few weeks after surgery with my leg immobilized in a brace; and then it was incrementally given a greater range of motion. I think it was about a month until I could start going out on crutches, 6-8 weeks until I could begin PT, and about 2 months of that before I was fully on my own.
9 months after the injury we took about a 2 week tour in northern New Mexico. I’d say it was about three years before I was fully recovered though and my knee quit swelling after strenuous exercise.
I was also at the Verona train station yesterday (Wed) - catching the 12:06 to Bolzano. How surreal would it have been surreal if we had bumped into each other there!!
3 years agoMaybe if it were illuminated. It was late in the day and unlit.
3 years agoSo .. what's the recovery like for a ruptured quad tendon?
Surgery? PT? How much time to recover?
Can't imagine traveling with that injury.
Wow .. cool place!!
3 years agoOh my .. so scary (and painful!!) it makes me queasy.
3 years agoThis is beautiful, but doesn't look like a place a Friendly God would want to hang out.
3 years agoYes, I’m a notoriously slow study.

I think that's a four o'clock. The flowers open after four o'clock so those must be yesterday's flowers. And, of course, seed pods.
