Tundra_Man, it's good to hear about your progress. When I had surgery on my leg, I was going light on the painkillers, too. But when I got shingles, I took all the vicodin they'd throw at me.

Nothing remarkable. Still getting used to new saddle height. It’s amazing how easy it is to lose track of what feels normal or “right” when you don’t take a break from the bike.

37F and winds out of the east at 20 steady, gusting 40. It was misery except for the fact that I was riding a new (to me) bike, and recognizing that it'll be a tailwind on the way home.

Sunny, winds light and variable, and upper 40s on the ride in. Spring is here. Jack up those saddles, slam those bars, and let's all get back to the business of blowing out our knees. Silly winter.
