well today was the first ride in over a week since my back flared up. I was absolutely shocked to not have ended up with having to undergo surgery. I took the Bacchetta out for a short stroll. Rode 12 miles with a pretty heavy headwind. Decided this would be a short and easy ride just to lightly test out my back. I replaced the stem with one from TerrCycle and it really tightened all of the free play in the steering. I also adjusted the height of the bars a little as well.
