West Bend surpassed 60° today for the first time since November 5, the date on which I had my hip replacement surgery. It was a gorgeous afternoon that felt more like May than March. Although I had intended to confine my cycling to the turbo trainer this month, today was too nice to spend indoors. I did an easy 10 miles around town, riding outside for the first time since I crashed way back on November 4. We’re going to cool off considerably overnight and then stay in a more typical weather pattern for a few days, but there might be another outdoor ride in my plans on Friday, as temperatures are expected to rise into the 60s again. I still won’t be pushing hard. These early rides will test my new hip joint even at low intensity. I need time before I can be completely confident in it.
