January 27th was a monumental day for me. Seven months and 29 days of torture not being able to ride my bike. I still have a lot of issues with my shoulder, and of course I'm scared to death of falling and hurting it again. So, I decided my first time out would be on a flat canal trail with a friend. We took it slow and I was only able to do a few miles because the position of the arm while holding the handle bars for any length of time is difficult. The good news is that we geocached along the way - so I got to stop and take a break every half mile or so. Here is a video of me taking my first spin around the parking lot, forgive me for the audio - we didn't have a script, this was improv.
