Default First ride after knee surgery

Never had any type of surgery until last Monday. Torn meniscus in left knee got taken care of. No pain in the knee after surgery but getting the anesthesia out of my system couldn't come quick enough. Was able to walk around the block without crutches by Thursday and was knee was strong enough to hold up the bike so I took it out for a 60 mile ride before the rains came in today. Felt good to be back in the wind, lots of other bikes in the area as well. Wonder what I'm gonna do with the next 5 weeks off

Hey Pat, very new to this group but sometimes you just gotta jump in. I'm glad your up and about and in the wind. Looking forward to meeting as many of you as I can, when I can. I'm excited about 5 days off and you have 5 weeks! Don't push too hard. Stay safe. jb
