I took a week off due to some minor ulnar neuropathy (have since adjusted my grips and so far, so good) but was back on the bike day before yesterday. I can't believe how hard it was on me to sit out for just a week. I got out and walked, but it was just not the same. Did not do as much for my peace of mind and general mental state, never mind physical. I am *so* glad to be back on the bike.

Weather is slightly cooler in the mornings and afternoons now (low 70s and low to mid 90s) which makes a big difference.
