I'm going to ride tomorrow (friday).
Post op appt was good. Everything is healing up exactly as it's supposed to. I've been cleared to ride so long as it's flat to very gentle hills. If the location of the patch/hernia starts to get uncomfortable, then I need to slow down or get off the bike. So I'm going to take it very easy tomorrow on the ARBT and see how it goes. I'll go in the direction of Discovery Park as it's pretty flat/gentle hills. Just play it by ear and see how it goes.
4 more weeks before I'll be healed enough to start on the not so steep, but bigger hills. I expect Beatty will be out for quite some time yet. And I doubt I'll be able to get ready in time for the Auburn Century. Iowa Hill is just going to have to wait.
