Last week I checked my Strava account and I had ONE ride logged since January 1st!! I weigh 400 lbs and 99% of my rides never leave the subdivision. Yesterday evening was perfect, 75 degrees, sunny and no wind, so I got the bike out and went for "starting over" ride. I ended up riding 3 miles (one was the goal) and unfortunately, my right side where I had my gall bladder removed 3 weeks ago started hurting about half way thru the ride. I really didn't expect that since I've had no symptoms for over a week now. Other than the pain, it was a great ride! I felt good and never left the gear I started in.
