didn't get to ride today

Hopefully this will be it for a few years lol, and I will be back on the bike in a couple of days. Was hoping to run out the year on riding days, but it already has been a good year!

Blockhead how often were you being affected with it?

Django..truer words were never spoken! Lol

First attack I ever had I was in my early 30s. I would get it once or twice a year but it seemed each time I got it was worse than the time before. I finally went on a daily allopurinol regimen about 10 yrs ago when I was 45...hardly any flareups since.

I will say that I've had a lot of painful things happen to me over the years (broken bones, torn rotator cuff etc) but gout is about the worst.
