FWIW, there are a couple of guys in my cycling club with replacement
hips. One had surgery in January and completed a Boston-Montreal-Boston
event (3-days, 750 miles) the following August. The other guy had both
hips replaced and also resumed long-distance riding the same year. Yet
another had a knee replaced and has resumed riding.
