I AM RIDING AGAIN! Slowly but steadily. Today my SO I and rode 6 miles at an average speed of 10 mph. The pain from the accident doesn't seem to bother me on the bike. Funny though, it hurts when I lie down???? We are gradually increasing the mileage every day. Seeing as he is 82 years old, he is quite agreeable to this. He does have an e-bike so it really isn't too tough for him.

I really like my new road bike. Its a 2012 Specialized Ruby Compact size 44. It fits so much better than my hybrid. I guess you don't know how bad a fit is until you get something that fits like a dream. (The LBS took time to make sure it was fit right.) I am thinking of selling the hybrid and buying new one that fits so I can run errands with it. But that is probably a long way off. I am not sure I want to put anything extra on a bike I have to balance. The road bike was expensive as well. I guess I will have to see if I get a bonus next year.
