after 5 months of pain/healing/frustration/rehab/theropy I finally got back on the bike today. I am probably only 80% with the foot but it was a beautiful day and I had to ride. I went out for a "short" ride thru the farm country and got completely lost. Couldn't be happier about that. I was able to "ride my ride" I didn't have to worry about traffic because its a holiday weekend and everyone is at the beach. I was able to go thru the twistys at my pace and figure out how to lean more to go thru them faster. Rode for 102 miles and on my way back ended up being in a place I didn't want to be...the highway. Again minimal traffic so it was the perfect day to find out I was afraid about nothing just the fear of the unknown. I rode on the highway for about 10 miles at 60 mph. The bike definetly could have gone faster but holiday weekend and the cops are everywhere and I did not need to go any faster. I was doing just fine where I was. Overall today was great. Beautiful day, great ride, beautiful scenery, great ride, learned a thing or two, great ride, did things I haven't ever done before and in case I didn't mention it yet, great ride. So guess what I am doing tomorrow?
