In June 2017 I was scheduled for heart valve replacement surgery. The Saturday before, I went for a short ride that ended when my front wheel slipped in a wet parking lot. I fell at slow speed, fracturing my pelvis.
Two months later I was back on a stationary bike, the surgery postponed until I was fully recovered.
Four months later I learned my heart condition was no longer an issue and the surgery was indefinitely postponed. There was no medical explanation -- just clearance to resume normal activity.
So I'm riding again, but this time I want to make it count. I'm averaging at least 100 miles a week (October 6th I rode the Seagull century in Salisbury, MD, finishing in 5 hours, 10 minutes). with a goal to ride 1500 miles between August and Christmas day, 2018, to raise money for Water of Life.

Water of Life is a 501(c)(3) charity dedicated to serving people in India and West Africa by drilling wells to provide clean water.
It's more than a well, though. Water of Life has 5 "drops of impact":
