Four months later...

I had the new (to me) experience of finding out what Achilles Tendon issues are like.  I don't recommend it.

So after a four month layoff, I was able to go out for a short bike ride today.

I started by (literally) dusting the cobwebs off my old 29er, reinflating the tires and greasing the chain. I had hoped to take it for a service but the car it'll fit inside is broken at the moment. Thus, a trip to the bike shop is a little tricky for now.

I just went out for a couple of miles but it was more than enough for starters.  Several months of enforced inactivity have certainly taken their toll

Now to try some regular cycling and then ease back into running...
