Ankle progressing, doing some road rides

At the 6 week mark, x-rays showed my fracture was only about halfway healed, unfortunately.  Here we are at nine weeks in.  In one week I go get more x-rays, and hopefully that shows it's healed, but who knows.  I still have occasional pain.  Ligaments are definitely not healed.  I've been doing physical therapy for a while, and have now been able to get on my road bike 3 times, with yesterday's ride being the first one to do any real climbing.  Climbs were very short, but steep (Chambers hits 17%, and McLean 12%).  But, it has felt very good to get out there.  I'm just frustrated things aren't healing faster.  

I'm now hoping that in about 5 weeks from now, I'll be good enough to be on the mountain bike, and be able to go to Barbie Camp.  Today I did some small work on my Reign, as I can see maybe taking that bike (or both bikes) as the full suspension may be appreciated :)  Plus, I'd wanted to get the broken seat post off there.  And, Lyric fork needs work, so Monday I've gotta get on that and get it sent back and fixed.  It's just the travel adjust that's broken, rest of fork seems ok.
