I finally got back out there on the bike over the weekend! :D It had been nearly a month since I'd had a real ride, due to spraining my ankle and then spraining it again. :( Now, the road bike temporarily has platforms/mini clips borrowed from my other bike -- I have to ride while wearing an ankle brace.
Sitting it out was not easy. It was tough to watch my boyfriend go out riding when I could not. But, I'm back!
I rode for an hour yesterday and 1 1/2 hours today. Sure, my butt is a little sore, but that will improve soon.
(BTW, I figured that since I was essentially starting over, I'd buy a new saddle also. I'd been considering the Terry Butterfly for awhile anyway. So far, I LOVE it. Much more comfortable when I'm in the drops, too!)
My arms/neck have to get used to the road bike again as well. Should only take a couple more rides, I figure. :)
It's good to be back!
