Healing

The stitches come out tomorrow! And I'm getting on the trainer for the first time today, not tomorrow. I think I have the necessary ROM to get through a pedal stroke and it is time to be riding again. I was really able to see how much of my life was the bike while not riding.

I got a new frame, not new, but new to me. It's a Cannondale CAAD8 or 9 from the Healthnet/CoFA stable. I liked my six13 enough that I wanted to stay with the same family and geometry.

I discovered that rowing with one leg is a challenge, but will really work your hip flexors, glutes, and hams. Not a bad way to cross-train and keep the ticker from getting lazy.
