Doh! so far it's not been the best, I tore my ACL AGAIN at the end of last month, had surgery one week ago and am recovering very well. I did buy a new BMC carbon fiber road bike and I should be on that thing soon! How is it going for everyone else?

Not bad so far.
Just bought a "new" truck to move my Berg in.

I hope you heel up fast, how did you manage tearing it "again" if you
don't mind me asking?

Ugh, I'm not exactly sure how I tore it. I had it replaced 6 years ago and since then I can think of three incidents that may have damaged it.

On the 24th of last month I stepped off a 3' retaining wall and expected to just keep on walking.... Well as my foot touched the ground I felt my knee buckle and I thought to myself holy crap I think my knee just dislocated, as I was thinking that thought I hit the ground HARD as if I had stepped off with no leg at all I heard and felt it pop. At that moment I knew exactly what was wrong.

I stood up, cleaned up the things I was working on. Walked in the house right by my wife as if nothing was wrong, got a shower. Came and sat down next to her and told her my knee was JACKED.

The good news is I was up and walking 3 days after surgery. Now not walking well but walking. I am way ahead of where I was at 1.5 weeks last time. I give credit to doing all the right things and the power of the mind. I feel good about this but it sucks to not be riding.
