RR: Back in the saddle

bomba said:

It's annoying situation, having a new bike sitting there in the corner begging you to ride it, but
being injured.

Despite the cold, wet grey weather, I got out this weekend for the first time in a couple of weeks
and it was fantastic. The fitness has dropped but the smile returned.

Welcome back, Bill

That definitely stinks. Maybe time to get some little maintenance tasks done on the poor OLD
bikes in the meantime (if you haven't already done all you can think of.)

Nothing better than a bit of time off the bike to realize just how much you love it when you get
back out again! Hope you get plenty more soon. You and everyone around you will be glad you did!

It always feels good to be back after a layoff like that. Good that you're up to it now. Enjoy
the new bike?

I know what you mean. Between having a strained MCL and having to travel up north and back, my
riding has been minimal over the last several weeks. My new SS is beginning to hate me, this is not
a good start to our loving relationship...

Loving it. There are a couple of small things I want to sort out, but I'm impressed.

I know the feeling. With me the bike was leaning against the wall, loosing air from the tires,
collecting dust, etc. Every once in a while I'd go by and squeeze the brake levers, just to let it
know I was thinking of it.

My first ride, after more than a year off, was on a sucky little gravel path. I tell ya it almost
brought tears to my eyes to be back on the bike. The bike musta sensed what I'd been recouperating
from, as it's behaviour was perfect. Not like the other times when I'd neglected it, when it tried
to throw me off.

Nope, we just picked up right where we left on and had a great season of riding. I don't know if a
bike can be full of glee for being back out on the trails, but I sure was.

Here's hoping you get well soon!!
