Take heart, Pete, you will know when it is time to get back in the saddle! Hope for your sake it is soon!
After my knee injury, and while I was on the pain medication (

) I forced myself to stay off the bike for four days. When I finally started riding, it was very simple, easy rides. This last weekend, I did a little ride of 30 miles, and it was great! With a little luck, on Wednesday, the doc will let me start working hills again so I can start getting some miles in!
And, like I always say, when the chips are down, the buffalo is empty!
