Hey Aaron,
Welcome to the group.
2'nd on the diamond plate!! (insert forehead slap) Why didn't I think of That!
You must be one tough son of gun to have had the back/neck work done and still race!
I blew out both sides of L-4 and while I was recovering I think all the arthritis in my joints thought it would be the perfect time to party.... Oy-Va... now I gotta have both hips replaced.. If you can Race, I should at least be able to plunk along SingleTrack..
Take Care and glad to have you along for the ride..
