Thank you Deb and RedRock. May def try ice now - i'm so frustrated with this computer that I'll I'm going to stay away from the bike until later in the afternoon. I can take it back to the bike shop tomorrow after work. Nevertheless, I feel like I've joined a club of sorts which is nice. When I was on my bike yesterday, despite the bum pain and some left knee pain, it was freeing to be on the bike and made me forget how out-of-shape I had become.....like "i can do this again - Yes!"
