After having had surgery to clean out my left leg arteries a week ago yesterday, and having only ridden on short ride since. I rode today.
I ventured out early and wussed out at 2 miles due to the cold and wind, came back home, worked my courage back up, then rode 10 miles of which about 60% of the ride was into the 15mph, gusting to 25+, wind.
Not much of a ride by many standards, but was a lot for me today.
