2nd day back on the road

Weather here in Vancouver has been hot and dry since about May, and everyone's grass is generally brown. However, I biked in yesterday and again today, and was either rained on or threatened!  So what bad luck to have missed six great weeks, and to now enter the cooler, wetter and darker part of the year. I'll get my iPod going again and then will be 100% recoverd. Although on the ride home last night I definitely felt far more tired than I ever have been going home, and I guess my body is just taking its time to fully recover. 

A leisurely ride in today, taking 60 minutes and including Stanley Park, which I customarily do on Fridays now. Average pace was 21 km/hr versus my 27 km/hr pace just weeks ago, so I've got a lot of fitness to gain back.

2,800 kms YTD.

Exercised the demons (pun intended)

Six weeks after the crash, finally biked in again. Sans iPod and podcasts, but I was mainly staying focused on the bike to see if it contributed to the cause of the crash. I think not, and I must have hit something. So my "demon" is fully exorcized (exercized?), I hope.

Looking forward to biking again, as it contributes so much to a positive mental and physical state.
