Facebook reminded me it was on this date, March 23rd in 2012, in the morning that I resumed riding to work after a bulging disk in my neck changed my life in September 2010. I didn't ride for over a year, and didn't resume commuting until 8 years ago today.

I was in constant pain for four months, which then began to subside for longer and longer periods each day. I began walking, then running on the treadmill through the fall and winter to get my cardio up. Then I began shorter rides until I though I could make the 9 miles to work.

Here is a photo from that day in 2012, and again today!

I got to work and found out we will be on a reduced schedule effective immediately. Such is life in the time of Coronavirus.
That is snow atop Pikes Peak just above my helmet in today's photo.
