Whew, I just got back from my longest bike ride of the season yet. I rode from my apartment to University Village (where I met the rest of the group) down Lake Washington through Renton, then onto the Cedar River Trail out to Maple Valley. On the way back, we stopped in downtown Renton for lunch before heading straight back home (no detour to University Village). Unfortunately, my bike computer froze up just after leaving Maple Valley resulting in the loss of about 9 miles and 45 minutes of riding. Adding in those estimates to what was actually recorded yields 63 miles over 4.5 hours. As you might imagine, I’m pretty exhausted!

I went to the doctor on Friday since my wrist is still hurting after 3 weeks. They took x-rays and said it was probably just tendinitis. It’s definitely good news that it’s not broken or anything. The doctor put me on a high dose of naproxyn to counteract the inflammation, so I’m sure that’s numbing the pain of the long ride today somewhat already. I’ll have to see how I feel later tonight once the dose starts to wear off.
