Article Excerpt:

At the top of Squaw Pass. Author near center in blue jersey.Yesterday, I visited my orthopedic surgeon. My left hip fracture is healing well. On September 26, cycling down Squaw Pass in Colorado, I flew off my bike at a curve landing hard enough to fracture my left hip. Looking back, the question is why? Was I not adequately prepared? Was something missing in my training? Did I push above my limits? Was it a fluke? 

After initial healing following implantation of a dynamic pin (no need for a joint replacement!), my first response was to review my training. Besides working out at the gym a couple of times per week, I cycled in town 50 to 60 miles per week.
