Confirming Eastern RS Owners Exist

[Ray]

I'll be late getting out this riding season as I had open heart bypass graft surgery on March 7. My cardio thoracic surgeon says it kinda means I'll not be able to ride for at least a couple - 3 months. Both his father and brother are riders and he understands the passion so he's leaving a lot of that decision up to me.

Sorry to hear life was interrupted. 
Smart surgeon. 

My 2 cents - and worth every penny - some work with a cardiopulmonary rehab specialist (and maybe a PT if sternal stability is a question), might go a way toward getting you back on the road a little sooner. 

(Though most of the improvement physically (and mentally) occur in the first 6 weeks, I always tell folks to expect further noticeable improvement for a couple years with daily training.)

Go get 'em.
