Today: quad stretches, rode 1.3 miles to the library to drop a book off, quad stretches, rode 1.3 miles home, quad stretches, applied heat, then iced. Then I'll walk 1.4 miles to massage and 1.4 miles home. Life as a retiree is tough.

Hey! Stop whining or don’t. We have all got the fracas of ‘age-related syndrome especially at 60 plus
I have become accustomed to not being taken seriously as a competitive rider ‘cos my next stop is 70. Maybe circumstances make you a none-competitive rider? I don’t compete against anyone except myself….unless I can see the last rider in front of me… then I have to be in front of him. Sure you are recovering….best of luck….but whatever happens….happens. My best shot is to get into macrobiotics with a spot of engine oil and buy a multigym.

Nice work on your recovery, Harper, but I've been told several times
that I was the superhero of rehab! ![]() |

I'm about 8 months into this, now. I rode last week for the first time since my post in July. It was just hurting too much to be pleasant and I got busy with other things. Lots of motorcycle riding, for instance.
There were several breaks in the weather last week and I rode four days in a row, three miles one day and then four miles the other three days. Today, after it hailed, there was a break in the weather and I rode seven miles non-stop with a couple of good climbs and descents. This knee seems to be working OK now. I guess physical therapists and surgeons know what they're talking about sometimes.

The peanut gallery demands photographic evidence.

It's hard to take a selfie while riding. My son took this when we rode to West Seattle last year.
I rode the Coker 8 miles yesterday aggressively and with two steep climbs and two long climbs. Sore legs but not sore knees. I'm hoping for an IHD ride for my 66th this year.

Nice! I especially like your giant, cartoon-like mirrors.
