I got out of the station at about 6, and felt great to be on the bike, but I could tell that whenever I tried to push it, my back would complain. Bummed I could not finish with you guys, but I the other crippled folks that rode with me to the station were a solid bunch. Made new friends, so in the end it was all good.
I have a massive swollen bruise on my right hip, and my back is still sore from compensating for the leg muscles that are unhappy. For those who don't know, I had a massive wipe out at the bottom of a hill when my front wheel hydroplaned and I ended up sliding about 10 feet on the tarmac (good thin it was wet). Other than that, I am generally in one piece. We'll see how the ride to work goes.
