Awwww thanks, ladies. I rode again yesterday and am really, really, really sore. LAZB (my bike) and I get our makeover on Friday. My ace bike fitter will do all he can to tweak things for the time being.

Taking it easy will be both easy and hard. Easy because I am so out of shape that a 45 minute ride slays me--I just can't ride very long. Hard in that EVERYTHING is hard right now. It's good for me, all of it!
