Default Back in the saddle again!

Lets just say the last year has not been good to me as far as riding. I had a hip surgery last July to repair a torn labrum with 2 months of recovery. That didn't last long, I had a hip replacement on the same hip in the beginning of April. Yesterday, I got the all clear from Doc and I was off and running! A quick wash and I was in the wind! Oh what a feeling when you haven't rode in awhile, I am a happy man

Good for you man! That’s a tough one to recover from. Glad you’re up and riding again.
