....While I have some work to do to rebuild my capacity I've had two amazing rides so far. Kept to z2 on the upper end, but was comfortable both with the bike and handling (after all, it's just like riding a bike, yes? ) and felt good from both cardiovascular and muscular perspectives.

It's a long way from home for you, but the Mass General Cardio Performance center is probably among (if not the) the best of the best in the game. The number of signed olympic/professional sport jerseys addressed to / thanking the doctors inthe practice for their help that are decorating the walls there are confirmation of that.

Late to the party, but... yeah. I've been under the care of cardiologists since I was born and holy cow... the difference between a sport-centric and general cardiology practice is night and day. Perhaps not relevant to the initial poster hot damn.

Hoping he is recovering well, and by the grace of many things, rolling on his bike! I am in for my echo Friday.
