Going to get back at it

I haven't rode much since 2017 I was having foot issues that caused enough pain that by the time I got through work I was done in. Late October I had surgery on my right foot and am doing somewhat better. The weather and light after work is getting to the point I can get out. So I am going to dust off a Surly and get back to riding
I still need to have surgery on the other foot at some point

Winter I think is finally over down here. So riding consistently will start back up. Not enough cold weather bike clothing.

Eleven years ago I was off the bike for a year due to a very painful non-bike related injury, so I know how you feel. The first time back on the bike I was unexpectedly overcome with emotion and ended up teary-eyed, shouting with joy, and even offered up a prayer of gratitude...I wish you the same.
