Wow, it felt good to be on the bike today. This was the first day I’ve ridden over 10 miles since I injured my knee over two months ago. The trip was typical for us; stop by Nana’s to check on the dogs, take a detour through the open space to spy on wildlife, and pick up groceries on the way back. The weather was windy but beautiful, the wildlife cooperated (see below), and another car trip was avoided. Oh yeah, and the knee feels pretty darned good tonight!

Rad. It was brutally windy here today too but I found a new trail so I’m really excited!

Just one word: Wohooooo!
Always good to get a ride in. I spent the weekend on bicycle maintenance. So only short test the gear rides and circle back to my garage to tweak again.
As they say about other activities, even a bad day of biking is better than a good day of (fill in the blank). Congrats!

Glad to hear you’re back in the saddle!
Well done, mate. Back in the saddle again! It’s not even 6am, and I’m headed out the door for my once-a-week uber commute to school–45 miles and over 4,000 feet below! Yipee is all I can say. I’m happy to hear you’re getting back into the spin of things and will be able to avoid a similar layoff in the future. Life’s to short not to ride all the time.
Cheers,
Scott
Thanks for the kind words everyone!
Best,
Alan
Glad to see that you are back on two wheels!
