Wow, that was harder than I remember.

After returning to riding a few weeks ago, after a broken collar bone, I've gradually been upping the distance. At first my shoulder was a bit sore so I had to cut a couple of rides short.
Went out today on one of those "lets just see how far we get" rides and managed a metric ton (100 Km). The time was a bit slower than I'd have liked (3 Hr 37 Min) but all things considered I'm not too disappointed, I've just got rusty .
It's amazing how a bit of time (3 months in my case) takes the edge off but the shoulder is feeling fine after the ride so it's time to try to regain a bit of oomph!

48 hours later and my legs are still telling me I overdid it

I'd be pleased with 3hr 37min! Did my first metric ton the other weekend and managed 3.52 - without the excuse of an injury!

That's my problem I think, I got caught up in the moment and pushed a bit too hard too soon.
Felt damn good to be out again though
