We have great places to ride here and no real winter so I can do it year round. The MUT trails are scenic and except during the heavy tourist season aren't to heavily used. Then I rely on the indoor trainer. Scheduled for hip replacement in mid-November so hopefully I have a quick recovery. Got my fingers crossed!!!
Hope you have a rapid recovery. My dentist used to race and wore out a hip due to training, skiing and genetics. He took about half year to get back at it. He rides from 5-20 miles almost everyday now. Its been over 10 yrs since his surgery and he has done great. You''ll do good.
