My last ride was on Sept 24. That was 15 days ago. Two weeks. And today I got back on the bike and took a slow ride down to the Battery, looked at the Statue of Liberty, turned around and came back.  

A beautiful Saturday afternoon. Warm, in the low 70s. And every sidewalk stroller with a baby carriage was out, walking four-across. Oblivious to the wheeled traffic all around them. Numerous near-hits. Riding on-edge most of the time. 

And the body aches. But it works. It was not agony and at times it was very satisfying. To have overcome the calamity and risen back on wheels, ready to climb the next hill! 

The map. 4.93 miles in 39 minutes. Like I said, a slowwww ride.
