Back on the bicycle


This week has been really busy but the good news is the doctor removed all restrictions which means I'm back riding my bike. I can tell I'll have to build up my miles again. I feel it in my legs.
The photo was taken Sunday night as I walked home from our dock where we watched the shuttle launch, It was quite spectacular and I wish I'd taken a photo then but was busy watching the separation through my binoculars. Do click on the photo to get a better picture.
I am starting to do a count down for my April 30 departure for the road trip to Alaska. I expect to be gone a little over 3 months so there's lots to do. This week I'll head to Chicago for Michaels wedding on Friday and seeing some of the Rockford area family on Saturday. The following week I'm off for some Florida camping and a rendezvous with sister Karen in the Ocala area. It seems as if I'm doing everything in double time which is a real adjustment from the life of leisure I had in February. I am pleased though to have the recovery go so smoothly and am so thankful for all the assistance, thoughts and prayers that aided in my healing.
