And watching the guy currently in the yellow jersey should give you a little inspiration. He was where you are a while back, out of surgery, chomping at the bit to get back on the bike, and when he did --- whoo, look out!

Be patient and gentle with yourself, and know that a whole bunch of women you've never seen before are sending great mojo your way.

Life can be kinda cool, especially during the most challenging of times.

Keep us posted!
