Today's ride was the first ride of the year. Was on the sidelines for two months, due to gel vitreous detachment in the good eye. Had a retinal tear in the other eye when got hit by tennis ball twelve years ago. The tear was laser tack welded.

Being very nearsighted with contact lenses, I've always been aware of bright lights, flashes, dark shadows... symptoms of retinal issues.

If you see anything abnormal, including spider web large floaters, immediately call for assistance. Do everything if in your control to prevent a retinal detachment.

Good luck everyone.
