MACI and cycling

Heya all, did some light searching but didn’t really find much. Going under the knife for stage one f my Patellar MACI procedure next week. I’ve already had one scope and a meniscus repair on this knee, so I’m not terribly worried about that part.

I am however a bit freaked about the second stage. I’m an avid cyclist: a bike messenger, and an ultra distance rider. Wondering if there’s anyone here with similar hobbies that have gotten this procedure, and what their return to riding looked like. I know everyone is different, just trying to prepare mentally for as many eventualities as possible.

Cropduster 110(ish)

Had a great time riding some unscouted gravel in eastern CO with Big Dumb Rides for the inaugural Cropduster 110. For being unscouted the route went toe to toe in terms of smiles per mile to any large gravel event I’ve done. If you’re in CO, come out for it next year.

Great day exploring some unscouted gravel in Eastern CO with the homies at Big Dumb Rides. Sold on tubeless at this point, at one point I had so many goat heads it sounded like I was rolling on studded tires.
