four weeks to the day after breaking my elbow-- and I'm back on the road (not counting that commute in after I got some x-rays done a few days after my crash... they called me at work "yep, it's broke." I felt pretty tough riding home.
My test ride was pulling my repaired espresso (bent the hanger and broke a few spokes) home from the LBS on Saturday in the trailer, and busted out 25 total miles today.
I sure don't mind the cold after missing the ride for so long!
The new continental town and country tires were quite a different ride than the dry rotted kenda quest tires I had on there. I think I'll take the nice ride and better braking over cheap and light! I dig the huge lettering-- makes even a Dahon Espresso look almost hearty!
