An excellent goal Marty,
Mine was similar "back on the bike". There was a lot of time on a trainer rebuilding strength and relearning gear changes. And many days of self doubt. However, day 88 saw my first ride on tarmac. After 50m I was lying on my side with my feet still clipped in. - I was so excited I stopped without thinking.
However, day 90 I was riding up Mt Buffalo (very slowly).
Very little of this was solely down to me. It was the result of a large collection of supportive people, including my wife, family, friends, colleagues and CycleWELL.
Stay strong, stay well. The Bay awaits.
