The first ride in over two months. Thanks for the motivation Mark Zuckerberg.

It was a simple ride from the Queen to Dudley B. and back. The ankle was fine all thanks to a brace that was purchased and will be worn probably for the whole two-fourteen year. Hmmm... Maybe I should have worn that in September.
