You will be back cycling before you know it. It is incredibly quick and easy for the most part. During my procedure, the doctor, nurse and I all discussed the places where we have backpacked. He bundled me up and sent me out with instructions to tell my wife that it a very painful
procedure and to milk it for everything I could get.

Just cold today with a mild breeze at 17 F ( -8 C). Yesterday going home was brutal in the wind. I labored for every inch of progress that I made. I was either being buffeted and slammed from the left or going nowhere fast head on. The wind chill made it all the worse.
