OK I have to preference this by saying please don't tell my doctor but...

well the weather here in So California has been so gorgeous lately I could not go ride my bike. Yesterday, around noon, while I was eating left over tuna casserole, my buddy Richard called and asked if I wanted to do an easy MTB through Chino Hills. Not wanting to sit on the couch any longer feeling sorry for myself, I agreed. Well, yesterday was not a good day for me. Let's just say riding on a stomach full of tuna casserole is not a good thing. We barely did 8 miles if that.

Today I wanted to do it again. Again another beautoful day. About 75 degrees, warm and sunny. Richard and I (after eating an appropriate breakfast - no tuna!) took off for Aliso/Wood Canyon. The trail was in incredibly good shape. I felt really good and we made it up to Cholla Trail in good time.

Instead of climbing Cholla (which the doctor would really be angry about) we went back down the main trail and found another trail to explore. Wow! What an awesome singetrack! Little bridges over stream crossing, beautiful Oak Woodlands, fun little stair step climbs. I was in heaven. I did know to take it easy and not risk a fall. It was just a nice day to be out cruising on a beautiful trail. Probably only did about 10 miles but I was pooped after. Hopefully in a few months I'll be back to riding like before surgery.
