Another rehab ride today. I decided to start riding down to Keene. My thinking is that I want to increase the mileage gradually until I can do the entire ride. The ailment that is plaguing me the most prohibits me from getting out of the saddle for more than 5 or 6 pedal strokes. Also, I am unable to employ deep breathing. As it is, I'm probably around 60% of normal. Nevertheless, it was a comfortable ride for the most part. I have to let go of the handle bars for my right arm when going over rough terrain as it hurts the ribs and chest. I was working on balance and form. My legs felt weak to start, but by the time I reached the WTR summit, I was sufficiently warmed up. Interesting that I can notice a physical difference in size of my leg muscles from the start of the ride, to the last half. Gear is working well. I was concerned about the rear derailleur because of the a small scratch on the exterior. From what I can tell, it is still in perfect working order. Other notes, hopefully I will be able to purchase the new 11 Speed components today.
