I went to watch a cyclocross race today -- my first big outing. I'd really hoped to race this year, but watching was still enjoyable. Being out in fresh air is such a welcome change from a stuffy bedroom.
i'm amazed you made it out to even watch a cross race so soon after back surgery! and in the rain we had yesterday! you go!
hope you feel better and better and are back on a bike before you know it.
