First Ride Back

This morning I got the Ok from the doctor to finally start riding my bike again. Its been just over 6 weeks since the latest surgery and the X-rays look good! So I rushed back home, threw the gear in the car and took off after a short bite to eat. Did a nice 18 miler to get the cobwebs out after 4.5 months off the bikes completely. It felt good, I've managed to keep my fitness semi-conditioned through running, hiking, and the gym and just basically staying active the whole time. Part of the ride included a newly finished trail in Greensboro called the Wild Turkey trail. Its an out-and-back trail that is 5 miles one way with so many berms, rollers, and sweet turns that I couldn't keep track! So fun! Looking back I think it was good to have such a long time forced off the bikes when I wanted to ride so bad, because I don't think I'll be getting burned out for a while now, I just want to ride all day every day now. Stoked!
