Back in the Saddle
And back to square one. Today I started biking again. Took it REAL easy doing one of my very first routes (Paseo Ranchero/J St/Paseo Del Rey/H St/Paseo Ranchero). Excluding the downhills, I don't think I broke 12 mph just pedaling. I'm hoping that the 3.5 miles at an easy pace won't cause my back to hurt again. I also lowered the seat on my bike so that it's more level with the handlebars. Hopefully this will help my back as well. Anyhow, I think I'll just keep with the short distances for a while until I feel stronger.
