I did not get to ride as far as I planned but I did ride. I left on the ride at 4:00 and returned at 5:35. Between the sun coming down earlier and a meeting at church I biked 21.86 miles<\/strong> on my road bike! Yea!! Finally back on my favorite bike. It felt like old times. I did notice when I ride with my hands on the brake hoods I feel stretched. It’s amazing how the body can remember a position even when you haven’t been on the bike in a month. No problems surfaced on my bike from the collision. Carbon fiber frames must be some strong stuff.<\/p>\n

The plan was to go biking when I got back from physical therapy this morning. My right shoulder continues to be sore but the therapy is helping. After the session I can move my arm much better without the muscle yelling at me. When I got home I was catching up on some emails and then I switched over to check the radar. Lo and behold there was a rain cell headed right for Kingwood. Not too much longer and it started to rain. Eating lunch I hoped the rain would go away but it stayed so I wrapped up the grocery list with my wife and went shopping. I thought the streets would dry off while I was gone. Back from shopping at 3:30 the streets much drier I got dressed and headed out going south to Atascocita and Walden.<\/p>\n

It felt great to be back on my road bike. The legs remembered how to turn the cranks. All of the replaced parts worked as they are supposed to. I might need to adjust the front brake a little but only if I am searching for perfection.<\/p>\n

After yesterday’s ride I downloaded the full owner’s manual for the Garmin Edge 510. With the manual I set the lap length to 5.00 miles and made some other tweaks to agree with the Edge 500 I used to have. I think I am getting the hang on how to use the 510. My ANT+ sensors on the road bike synced up with the 510 as I rolled down the driveway. Life is getting better. When I got home I saw a message at the bottom of the 510 that today’s ride was the longest I rode with the 510. I plan on getting that message again with a longer ride distance.<\/p>\n

My plan for tomorrow is to ride in the morning since I do not take therapy again until Thursday. Hopefully the weather cooperates!<\/p>\n
