Hi Dan, These injuries suck, and being alone and inert while healing is a psychological ordeal on top of the physical healing. So if I can stay connected to the rides it helps my state of mind. I'm mobile enough to get around on the walker for a few hours. If someone can give me a ride over I'll be glad to help.
Here's my # if you know anyone who could bring me. Thanks, Barry (650) 968-1228

Thanks, Barry!!! I don't want you to push it too far. If you feel up to it at Montebello, that's great! But I know first-hand hip injuries can be really tough (actually, I broke my pelvis, not my hip...)
