Default Rider UP

There's no forum for "Rider Up," so I'll post it here and hope it's not a serious breach of etiquette.

It's been nearly six weeks of recuperation, and I've brought the bike back to top condition. Besides the frigid cold, there was no reason not to ride today.

The heart was pumping hard on moderate uphills and there was a subconscious aversion to racing down the hills at top speed. That's exactly what I expected, although I was secretly hoping that I would somehow be able jam up the hills as if I'd not been off the bike. Oh well.

It was great to be back. I feel like I've snatched my mojo back from the clutches of Dr. Evil.
