YIKES! :-| Hope that gets resolved soon and minimally painfully!
Well, between work and the compressing daytime, I had less than an hour of daylight, so I went for a short, HARD ride, 10 miles out and back up 43rd St. Average speed 17.1, max on the level 26, max down the hill on 23rd, 30MPH. This was a max effort, mostly to burn off the extreme irritation at my 16yo for butchering the flowering plum in the front yard with an overzealous hand to the loppers when she got home from school
. Had my pulse up in the 150 range there for a while. I'm gonna sleep WELL tonight, boys and girls!
