2000 miles. You're a madman!!! :-)

Tell me Jae... looking back, which was a more arduous undertaking? 2000 miles on your bike or 48 weeks of tx?

Got my lab results today. Keeping my fingers crossed that yours come back spotless.

I am a madmad Chris...that's obvious;) But what would I do again if I had to choose? 48wks tx or another 2000 miles? Answer...2000 miles every time:) Hopefully I won't have to do anymore weeks of treatment, but if I have to...I'll do the 48wks and 2000 miles at the same time no sweat;)

Great news Chris on your lab results! Excellent in fact!!! Mine better be spotless or else I might just be forced to commit a rather terrible act of violence upon......well, let's not even go there...let's face it...It's gone:)
