I've got over 1,200 miles in for the season so far and am shooting for 2,000 or more. I rode almost 2,000 before my 4 level ADR surgery last November. The good shape I was in prior to the surgery helped the surgeon access my spine and has helped in the healing process. I highly recommend cycling as a minimal impact sport that will put a smile on your face and laughter in your heart.
Hang in there.
