Best week ever bike commuting

After having been ordered off the bike for over a week by my doctor after a bit of surgery on my neck I got cleared to ride. I have ridden everyday this week except Tuesday and even though I have had to deal with fog in the morning I think this has been the most enjoyable week I have ever spent on the bike. Warm sunny afternoons have more than offset the hard to see in pea soup in the morning. Hope it holds for a few more weeks

This last week has been great for me too, great weather and slight decrease in the challenges from others on the way home.

Welcome back, I hope your recovery is going well.

I was on vacation all last week and really missed my work commute. Thankfully, I was able to do a couple of longish mountain bike rides, which eased the withdrawal and was a nice change of pace.

Still a bit of residual discomfort at times and tenderness where I wouldn't think there would be, like away from the incision but over all pretty good and best of all no tumor anymore and a clean bill of health.

That's great news. Sometimes we take for granted our commute until one day we are forced to stop. Glad to hear you are getting better.
