Less than six months removed from ACL knee surgery, Peter Ostroski is back on his mountain bike competing against the best riders in the world. He's spent the past month on the road racing in a World Cup in Canada and the U.S. Nationals, and although still not yet 100 percent back to where he'd like to be physically, Ostroski is happy with the results.
Ostroski will race this Saturday in an event in Missoula, Mont. before heading back home where he hopes to race in the 24-Hours of Great Glen Aug. 13-14 and the Mount Washington Bike Race Aug. 20 along with some cross country races.
