Ouch man,

I havent had a ride hurt like that since ...well, last time I rode, when I raced with a fever caused by mono back in September. I just did like a 45 minute ride around on some trails near home and it was just brutal.

But at least now I can ride. The SS still rides like a drem. Cant wait until I get my Prophet though.

Oh man I got mono at the beginning of summer and it sucked. I lost 15 lbs of muscle and my fitness went to ground 0. I went for a ride 3 months later and it hurt so bad, and it was only 10 miles. All I can say is rest until you know for sure it is gone and then you can quickly work your way back to where you were or better.

No. I didnt crash. It was totally a tame trail and i took it easy but the climbs were brutal and not even that big. I have a long way to go.

Dude - a week off the bike can be brutal on you. Congrats. Maybe you can be less of an ass now. ;)
