Back on the bike
hoohaaaa!! am back on the bike. 6 weeks of rest which i think is sufficient enuff, and also coz i cant hold in that urge any longer. was scared at first but i rode anyway. knee hurts a little bit the first few kms which i eventually stopped after less than 5kms. tried again the next day and rode a little further. fitness level dropped quite significantly, legs felt heavy, and deep down felt a little bit disappointed. after a couple of weeks now, i'm almost back to my best. but of course, my best so far is still far off from seasoned riders at Impian Emas. i'm just happy to be back on the bike. will wait another couple of weeks until i would start running. i have a tsprint as a loaner which i'm very happy with. feel and ride is much better than my bike. felt it's faster, of course, since its lighter and i cud go on elevations or hills much faster. i cud also maintain a higher speed on flat roads. i might go on a long distance ride this weekend. the boys are going to pendas. not that far, and they'll start riding much earlier than usual. its mostly flat roads and i guess its not too punishing. distance is only about 70km.
now that i have a loaner bike, i'll be sending my white bike for service and tuning. it wont match the tsprint but hope it'll be just as smooth once tuned. 2 days of rest and hopefully i cud make it for the ride. i'm still having cramps for last sunday's ride.
