Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Back in the Saddle Again

My other sport is volleyball, and perhaps the most common injury there is a sprained ankle. I got one of my own a couple of weeks ago, and to add insult to injury, I couldn't ride my bike!

Finally, late last week I rode a couple of miles very slowly, then the next day a few more miles at a little faster pace. Today I rode seven miles at 90%, and I feel GOOD!

Watch out world... I'm back!
