Pedal, how long ago was your surgery? I've heard that the anesthetic can stay in your body (and have strange effects like your legs giving out) for up to a month or longer. Blame the drugs, and don't be worried, and hang on!

Ahhh! Maybe you're onto something. The surgery was exactly two weeks ago today. And, I was under for almost 3 hours (really complicated little nose!) so that might be it! Thank god for handrails, and I will definitely try the trainer before I try the road!

for 5 more weeks. Any ideas of how to protect my eyes once I do go back on the road? I'll break out my mountainbike helmet with visor, and I'm thinking I'll just tape my sunglasses to my helmet.
For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

Update!
I slowly started back on the trainer. It's actually not bad if you watch the Tour at the same time. I started on Wednesday keeping my heart rate under 100. Felt fine. Thursday at 110, and then Saturday, I watch the whole TT stage of the tour, 2.5 hours, at around 130 bpm - wanted to keep it lower, but it was hard to do while watching those boys riding so fast!
Then, yesterday, I finally got on the real bike. I took it slow and easy, and I felt great. My breathing wasn't great, but it's because my nose was running as it does when I ride, and I still can't blow or even wipe it. If it hadn't been raining, I could have gone all day.
Thanks everyone for the input!
