finally got to ride! and new tattoo

[ehirsch83]

ok, so after having horrible knee pain for the past 3 months, and being off the bike for the past month I had arthoscopic surgery last week. THey found the problem and took care of it (plica issue). I went to the ortho yesterday and he told me(he is also a cyclist,hehe) that the best physical therapy he could prescribe me is the bike, so I could start that day.
Well I had to go to school last night, so I had to start today.
I did 18 miles and it felt great! (well the last 5 started to ache a little) i know, it is about 10 more then he probably thought I would do the first day, but it is my short ride... Anyways it felt soooo great to be out there, i even did a couple really short intervals. I hate how small my upper legs and butt look in my shorts though, ahh definitaly need to get them bigger again!
Oh! and this morning I was so excited about finally being able to get back on the bike I decided to get this little tattoo I have wanted for ages, as a little treat
