Seven days without riding makes one weak, but a whole month is serious!
I assume it's because of the injury from the attack? But I thought you mainly got a facial (keep a stiff upper lip, old chap)? Why can't you ride? Is your bike in the hospital too? Get well soon.

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!

I must be sick! I'm sitting here rubbing my legs under the spandex, feeling every smooth, sculpted ridge and crevass like a teenager gawks at the 442 cubic inch V8 engine under the hood of his Oldsmobile (now I'm dating myself.)
These are "my" cycling legs, keep your hands off! (My wife secretly loves them, too!)

What will your wife think? Will she still respect you?
What will your co-workers think?
The cycling world is depending on you!!
Seriously, I hope you'll be back in the saddle very soon. :thumbup:
