Pulled/Torn Calf Muscle?

Yesterday I went on a ride with a few friends, it was cold and we hit hills pretty early. My thighs were cramping early and we decided to take a less hilly route with a tailwind. After a few miles of flat road we begin to accelerate past an on ramp I got out of the saddle and put one turn in and my right leg locked. Couldnt move it a bit. Toes were pointed at the ground and muscle was contracted and I was in severe pain.

Ive also been dieting so I had barely eaten anything the whole day. Talk about dumb. I was asking for it in retrospect.

Now I have a sore calf and it looks like it might be bruised. Not positive. I rode a ways back and didnt feel that bad but I ended up getting a ride. When do you guys think it would be safe to start spinning again? Ive iced and raised it. Wrapped it too. I was getting my ass whooped so bad yesterday that I need to start riding again! I know I should treat the injury before worrying about getting back in shape, however will a VERY light spin do anymore damage??
