Riding To See The Donkeys

Uncategorized

Our friend Bob is rehabbing from his knee replacement about 5 weeks ago. So yesterday my group rode to see him. While we were there we visited (and fed carrots to) his two adorable donkeys, whose job is to mow his grass. This was a pleasant ride of just over two hours, with some challenging hills plus a pretty good headwind on the way back to lunch. I was tired after but feel great today.

We ran into Princess as we turned into Bob’s driveway.
We had to climb this hill, max gradient of 13%, to get to the house up the driveway. Quite a challenge on my recumbent.
But the view from the top made it worthwhile
Bob also has two beautiful labs. He and his wife Connie have lived here for 47 years.

    1. Recovery is going great, he said he’s gotten enough range of motion back that he can now pedal an exercise bike (no resistance yet). I think progress will be quicker after that. šŸ˜ƒ
