Once you have learned to self-moderate, you have\u00a0become\u00a0old.\u00a0<\/em>The Logging Road Cyclist<\/p>\n

The Logging Road Cyclist is humbled and awestruck by the dozens, nay scores of faithful blog followers who have welcomed his return to posting. They often ask: “TLRC, why are you\u00a0writing stories about your\u00a0macho, not to say studly, youthful exploits as opposed to your usual lyrical descriptions of your\u00a0more cerebral explorations of Oregon’s decimated forests?”<\/p>\n

The simple answer is that TLRC has learned to self-moderate while\u00a0trying to recover from pudendal nerve damage incurred about a year ago. He has been madly self-moderating in hopes that he might ride again, and in spite of a lot of negative indications over the last year, he may well.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, between trying saddle after saddle and even a full-suspension recumbent, TLRC, who has missed his blog himself will follow the prescription of the master of the short story, Jorge Luis Borges:<\/p>\n
