I keep telling my daughter to stop growing. She says”Daddy, I have to grow up so I can have bubble gum”.
I have since banned bubble gum from my house.

The greatest loss of fitness I have experienced was after I turned 62, or so, and the workload increased to the point where I didn't ride during the week and I was always exhausted on Saturday. Much worse than a few weeks off.

First, the single-incision location is, um, to the rear, and more problematic for cyclists sitting on small, firm saddle. I believe that there's also more rooting around because the incision location is midpoint, thus further away from each tube. The two-incision locations are to the front, however, and the tubes are easier to access, so that's what I went with. I'm not sure of my exact procedure date, but looking at my training log, I see that I only had 12 day gap off of the bike.
YMMV.

Ill ask JP which he got done, seemed like he was only off the bike for a couple of days.
