Still getting used to it.

So, after a mini-vacation to Indy last weekend, I get back on the bike again this week, and boy does it hurt. It hurts for more reasons than just being 50 lbs heavier than before I got married (yes, I'm hitting 320 now). I've also got a bone chip in my right knee along with a small meniscal tear and some arthritic buildup on the underside of the kneecap found on a recent MRI. Add to that, my circulation problem I've had with my right leg for the past 8 years has now spread to my left leg as well make my feet hurt constantly. Dropping the weight will help with both, but sometime in the next month or so I'm going to have knee surgery, so the riding will stop for a while.

Anyway, 10mi on Tuesday and 10mi today. I hope to get to doing 15 four times a week and maybe longer rides on the weekend, but I'm less and less enthused about riding on the streets these days. It just isn't safe in most areas.
