Day 82 - Back in the Saddle Again

Rode my bike today for the first time since my surgery. I mustered up my courage and went for a ride on my singlespeed with my wife and son the Hike and Bike, which is a 10-mile loop from the Mission Trails parking lot to Bensten Park and back. I used the ride to test my leg. I knew I could sit and spin without any problems since I was doing that on the indoor trainer. The real test was standing up and cranking the pedals. A quarter of way into the ride, I decided to test it out on a slight incline. I stood up and hammered the pedals. My knee felt a little weak, but held. It passed the test. We continued the ride at a moderate pace. An hour and half later we made it back to the parking lot. Mission accomplished. Back in the saddle again.
