I had a heart attack at the beginning of the year and before that I had not ridden for most of 2008. I have been attending cardiac rehab and am cleared for riding again.

Today I am cleaning my Trek 6700, filling the tires, lubing the chain and am going for a shakedown ride.

If all goes well I will be back in the saddle full-time, faster than ever and looking to add a fancy new road bike to the stable before summer is over.
