Just FYI. Time frame for medical deferral review is looking to be about 6 weeks.
I received the medical deferral letter from the FAA. My initial AME application was deferred on 1/7/22, and I received the letter today, 2/16/22.

Here’s another way to have that $100 hamburger flight. Take a fold up bike and explore the bike trails near an airport. I have collected a list of airports with easy access to bike trails. http://www.rovingbits.com/FlyBike/FlyBike.html and I just made this Google Maps based version http://www.rovingbits.com/FlyBike/FlyBikeMap.html
Updates are welcomed. Enjoy.

This is great information. One of the reasons I am looking to get a PPL is to be able to enter Enduro Mountain Bike races that are further away than I am willing to drive. Having a list of trails near GA airports is awesome.
