I rode 16.7 miles this morning, the longest post-surgery ride yet. I hope to do a 20 miler in the next week. Slowly but surely building back up! It is getting really hot though, so I am going to set my alarm clock a little earlier in the hope of getting out by 7:30 am.

Esquire, keep up the great work. Losing that much weight is hard! I lost forty pounds last fall while I was sick, I could never lose weight when I tried! The most I ever lost was 10 pounds and that was after riding 75-100 miles a week for months on end. Now my battle is to keep the pounds off as I am finally at a healthy weight.
