WEEKNESS
I have been back to biking for a week now and while I have weakened a bit—the hills are a bit more difficult than they were 8 weeks ago—I am able to do the whole route and not make any detours. My stamina is intact.
What has been best about returning is that a lot of people missed me.
You know. The people one sees every day on the rounds.
The friend who you pass in her car; she stopped and we chatted.
The young man and woman who walk their dogs out near the Andreas Hills. I shouted the 'story' of my ice adventures on several passes.
The woman who I used to ring my bell at when I came up behind her and then it became a joke so she would listen for me and turn around before I could ring the bell.
A few of the kids who wait for the school bus.
Those kind of people.
It is nice to be missed.
I missed them too.
It is good to be back.
How is the leg?
So much better in just a week; almost 100%!
Another trial completed.
