Longest ride + Calf Strain
Did my first destination ride yesterday. Rode out to the CE Trail in Kaukauna and rode most of it. I think that's the first time I've ridden a 55 mph rode without a shoulder, a little scary but traffic was light and respectful. Had a great time, made sure to stop often and take lots of pictures. By the time I got home I noticed a nasty looking bruise on my calf, and I noticed it wasn't recovering as fast as my other leg. I think I got a minor strain from doing a much longer and much more intense ride with some serious hill climbs. Today the calf feels really weak, and I've got a bit of a limp going on. It doesn't hurt but I get a feeling of dread from putting weight on it. It's hard to get a good recovery timeline, hoping it clears up before next weekend at least. Otherwise, I might just have to call it for September. I plan on skipping my Monday ride as of right now but let's hope Wednesday is a different story!
