I have ridden the entire KATY trail. My favorite part is around Rocheport with the towering cliffs on one side and the Missouri River on the other side. We watched eagles soaring out over the river there a couple of years ago on a crisp fall day. The trees were beauitiful.
I've ridden that section many times and especially like going through the tunnel....also a glass of wine and lunch at Les Bourgeois winery is worth the climb to the top.
I peddle about 6 grand a year myself. I had a RP (robotic) almost four years ago and i withheld from any vigorous excercise for one month as advised. I built a stone wall at 30 days, and am sure that i resumed peddllng soon there after. I have had no longterm restrictions or limitations with bicycling(i begin racing masters 50+ this year!). In retrospect I would have lingered a bit longer in the down time -- not trying to get back too quick. This diagnosis is a wake-up call and deserves considerable "quiet" (i.e. slow) attention. I am afraid that I might have too quickly exited a very important stage of reflection and self-care by resuming too much too quick. That would be my advise to you. Maybe simple breast-stroking down the length of the pool.

My best. No fear.

To quote Charlie Brown, "AAAGGGWWWW."
Actually, that is probably very good advice. I must tell you that I REALLY miss time off the bike. After about 3 days, my wife starts avoiding me. I am only a recreational rider, but I like to think I am a very committed recreational rider......I will have a serious talk with my surgeon about this....and maybe even take his advice :-)
