Well, it has now been 6 months, but I was allowed back on the bike again today (recurrence of old illness... lack of intestinal fortitude). I am happy to report that the wheels still go around when I push on the pedals, and the smile still appears on my face at about the same time the bike starts moving. Only 8 miles, mostly road, but it's something to build back from. The doc said "no strenuous exercise - and I mean biking!", and although I did try a ride in March, it was not a success. ;-(

What, no video? ;-)
Always good to get back on the bike! That first ride after several weeks (or months) off the bike is always a great feeling (as long as one doesn't try to ride like one hasn't been off for several months)!

Jeez, if I'd known you'd been sidelined, I /might/ have gone easier on you!
Sorry to hear you had problems, SB, but glad you're back at it.

Steve "jelly legs"
Didn't know you were out/off. I was going to ask what happened, but at your age, I'm not so sure I want know.
Anyway, glad your able to, once again, bruise your gluteus maximus.

Steve, you will get there soon enough, just keep it going from now on...

No worries. I reckon my wasteline needs it as much as my legs, so it's a natural twofer (probably 3-fer or 4- fer..) to keep riding, leaving out entirely the fact that it's fun. ;-)

Yeah, if I want to see an old guy wheezing, I'll just bring a videocam on my next ride.
LOL! I was thinking of the "intestinal fortitude" (or lack of it) video....
Anyhoo, no wheezing today, just a _very_ leisurely trip out to the lighthouse and back, little side-trip onto the cliffs to see some rock, and a tiny bit of dirt on the way home. I stay away from the beach (it's on the way there), although it's good exercise ;-) Steel and salt water do not mix.
Steve "now, if I can just get a boat in the water this year...."
Well, not to stalk you but you do have a boatbuilder that owes you a favor, and of course is just plain willing to help, right down the road a bit... Of course you could borrow one of his boats anytime too.
Betcha never expected to see me here but actually I was looking for your sig file, you know who😉
