Wupus,

Congrats, I have been waiting to hear when you did your first ride!

How did it feel? any problems with the road vibrations?

Road bike was perfect since I could ride on the hoods and kind of dangle the pinky out of the way. I think the mountain bike might be a little more painful. Every once in a while I would hit a bump that jarred it, but for the most part it was really good. Even did a mile or so of washboard dirt road to test it out.

Doc says I'm clear to do whatever I want. The only problem is I don't have enough range of motion in my pinky knuckle to grip the bars with it. I do have a therapy appt today and probably a couple next week to work on it, though. We shall see.

If you're driving up here to ride on the road then I guess I'll ride with you.
Why don't you drive down here and ride with me??? There is the Tour d'Temple.
