The rain finally cleared up after pouring all week and I was able to get out on the Saturday morning group ride. 45 hard miles was probably a bit much after 6 weeks of being sedentary but I was so stoked to be back on the bike.
Arm felt ok although some washboard sections were no fun but what really suprised me was the atrophy in the rest of the arm and shoulder. By the end of the ride I had a twinge in the shoulder and so much fatigue in that arm Im glad I didnt have to shift the front chainring. I may hunt up some more padded gloves until it heals a bit more. The combination of Lizard Skin 1.8 and Giro Zero gloves werent helping. Tomorrow morning will be the real test.
Going to see how the legs and the arm recover overnight
Did get a little sunburn on the scar
Now just gotta get rid of the residual fatness from doing nothing.
Also was my first ride on my new d2s. MY last pair was 4 (hard) years old. The buckles were rusted and they were looking shabby but the accident finally killed them so I ordered a new pair right after surgery.
After trying to fit into every cool pro shoe, I am resolved that for my super wide high arches nothing is better than the d2s. Killer quality and service. Quick turnaround too. I just wish they would do speedplay specific soles.
Went with lime green this time and the heat reflective soles. Lime green goes with my svelte/luxewheels and embro kit so i was looking all pro today. Albeit a salt and pepper fat pro.
Its good to be back. Now I am just hoping to patch together enough fitness for a reasonable cross season this fall
