upper arm muscles are a little sore, so standing/sprinting is tough, but super happy to be back in the saddle. hoping to race one or two late season races.
That's awesome. I got a similar instruction from a doc. He said that for normal people he would say not to ride, but he knew I'd ride anyway so just be aware if the pain got worse or changed.
