A HUGE day!

Today was the first time I biked since I had surgery last August!  I bought a new road bike at the beginning of May and since then, it has just been sitting in my living room- looking pretty.  I have been pretty nervous getting back to these kinds of things.  So, today was a big day!

I rode for about 25 minutes total- in a very controlled environment at this park not far from my house.  It felt good to sweat again!  My knee did fairly well... only going up the hills did I notice the strength deficits.  I have a long ways to go, but if I am going to get back to my life, here is the first steps.  Here are a couple pictures of my new bike!
