Back in the saddle...

Yay! So glad it went well and you're feeling more confident.

While we're having bike victories...I just rode the cursed mountain bike to the hospital I stayed at and back Some low back pain on the hills but I still managed to stay in the big gear the whole time! And I was clipped in, since I can't change my own pedals

(I still feel like my weight is too far forward though. Little sketched out going downhill)

And melalvai, sooo glad you were able to get back on and go for it! Was Nell worried for you?

Yes, definitely well done with all the bike victories, especially after nasty accidents etc.

My ride one day this week was not much of a victory, only about 4 miles and when I rode past the place I fell and broke my back 7 months ago, I just rode home blubbing, now how pathetic is that!

abejita, let us all know how the ride goes.

Doesn't sound pathetic at all. Sounds like you stared down your fear right in the face, rode right past it, and conquered. Crying is a natural reaction and not pathetic at all. I was in a bad car accident a few years ago (fortunately I walked away unscathed after being t-boned, flipping and rolling) that really traumatized me, and I still react to some level every time I pass that intersection when I go to visit my parents.
