Avmech,
Glad that you got the Doc's release to ride and that the first ride went well for you. Just listen to your own body and mind as to how far and when to ride, over doing tings after surgery can backfire on you badly, too much experience with that here, please do be careful. As to golf, my handicap was that I tried to play......
When I came back to riding it was a good day to get 2 miles in for a while, it will come to you and the enjoyment of getting more miles is great.
Bill
