Hi Folks,
I just got back into road biking after like 10 years and am preparing for a 100 mile ride in lake Tahoe in June 2011 . Went on my usual route this weekend and it started raining mid way . Had no choice but to continue . almost half way through my ride is a fairly tough descent . Although I was careful , my bike skidded and I must have been going about 30 MPH at the time . Fortunately no bones were broken but I am really sore and it has been about 48 hours . Got bruised up elbows, knees , side of the hips . How can I speed up recovery apart from resting . Any ideas or feedback would be very welcome . Down but not out :-)
