After a month of taking heavy antibiotics - 15 days Tavanic and 10 days of Bactrim Forte - I was feeling mushy and tired. So after the last pill went into my mouth, I waited for 5 days before trying to ride a bike.
Today was that day. I took the Merlin out into Meerdael Forest for a short ride. It was raining lightly but it was warm and I was dressed for it. Ideally suited weather for me to venture into the summer forest.
My butt on the saddle felt awkward, and my legs were not used to being used so I started out at an easy pace, exploring what tempo my body would be comfortable with. The full suspension bike was an ideal choice for this ride. After an hour I was feeling tired and could not control my core muscles any longer so I decided to turn towards home. In all, it was a great ride and I enjoyed being out there in the forest again.
