45F and gray, brisk. Dry at least.

My 1st commute in 4 wks after spraining my wrist in a wipeout on September 28. I took a week and a half off to drive (mostly in a borrowed auto trans car since I couldn't shift our car), then a week off while vacationing (pre-planned) and then the 1st 4 days of this week off while traveling for work.

About halfway in (just past the 3 mile mark) my wrist/hand was definitely hurting, it was my right wrist so I could still do power braking on the front wheel w/ my left if it came up, but rear-braking and shifting were awkward at best after a while.

I had backed off the ibuprofen while off the bike but will definitely be ramping that up to get home today. Then I get the weekend off and can decide how I feel about Monday.

Oh yeah definitely lapse in cardio conditioning was revealed this morning, too. But that should pass if I can stay on the bike.
