Today was my first ride outside in over two months.

I rode the Grandview loop with my friend Cheryl – a whopping 9.75 miles, at a tolerable (under 15 mph) pace. It felt just fine.

This is the first and last post of a series I was going to do called, “Notes from the Surgery Corner.” The series would have started earlier this year, when my surgery was scheduled and my spot in the spin room became the surgery corner.

In the before times, the spin room was like church. The regulars had their usual places, and the surgery corner moved around depending on who was having what done. In these viral times, the spin room is a lot less crowded. Even so, we’re still in our regular spots (more or less), and the surgery corner finally came around to mine.

But then, who wants to read a blog post about somebody’s impending surgery. Right? So I didn’t write that post.

Then I thought I’d start the series after the surgery took place and recovery was underway. But I was too tired, and besides, nobody wants to read about stitches and staple removal. So I didn’t write that post either.

So now, that I’ve got the all clear to do whatever I can comfortably do, I finally have something to say that people might want to read about. I’m getting back on my bike – inside for a while now, and outside for the first time today. That’s a post worth reading!
