I feel I'm joining the party a little late... but better late than never, eh?

Christmas Day was my first day back on the bike since my knee surgery in October. Over the holidays, I pootled around a few miles every 2-3 days. Last Tuesday was my first day back to work and yes, I cycled in! (It's 9.65 miles each way.) Then I did something stupid at work and injured my knee a bit, so wasn't able to cycle home til Wednesday evening and I 'cheated' and took the train part way.

So this morning I saw my physiotherapist for the first time since 20th December. She is very pleased with how I'm doing. She's ratcheted up several of my exercises, just enough to make me realise how easy they had become! And we have agreed my cycling goal for the rest of the month is to cycle into work Monday, Wednesday and Friday, with train assist home each evening. That'll give me about 15 miles a day, 3 days a week, with Tuesdays and Thursdays as 'rest' days.

So this is my Fall/Winter 2010/2011 Commuter Challenge, officially started. FINALLY!
