My first day riding in more than a week. I took a break to let my Achilles tendinitis heal. I could feel it was still not 100%, but I've made some changes to my set up to see if I can take the stress off a bit, and I've been stretching, as well as doing calf strengthening exercises. So, I hope that keeps it healthy.

The ride in was beautiful. It's light by 5:30 now, so I've got to start earlier -- even at 6:30, I was starting to feel a little too warmed by the sun, and it only gets hotter from here.

AND I'M RIDING AGAIN!!!!
