Back on the bike

Officially back on the bike. Well, at least the road bike. Have done two easy rides around the neighborhood plus finished a nice, slow pace, 32 mile ride this morning.



Back is doing good. Physical therapist has me doing a bunch of stretches and exercises every day. Seems to be helping. Had zero discomfort on today's ride.

Also finally broke down and got myself some new shoes and pedals for the road bicycle:



Feel like a real roadie now. Unfortunately, have three more weeks until I'm supposed to start hitting the mountain bike and weights (CrossFit).

Update 9/8/2009:
Finished off the long weekend with a total of 130 road miles. Capped things off with a nice 56 miles, 3k ft ride on Monday. Feeling good.
