I'm nearly 8 weeks post-partum
...
I rode 40km yesterday to test the waters and wow it was hard work.Given the first statement, then the second is no surprise. It'll come back, I'm sure, but get through those first six months of parenthood first as the lack of sleep is a killer for riding (speaking as a dad obviously). Keep at it as and when you can, and don't do what I did and ride into a parked car.

I'm nearly 8 weeks post-partum, so I have a feeling my 2022 audax season might not exist. I got pregnant right before I was about to compete my third RRtY, and have done very minimal riding pretty much all of this year. And bloody hell I miss it. I rode 40km yesterday to test the waters and wow it was hard work. Lost all my conditioning of 5ish years of very regular, almost daily riding.
It's almost certainly not the end, though. I'd like to think I have another PBP in me. And I'd love to do LEL please.
