So, I have been up and riding for the past week. I tore the muscles in the back of my right calf back in January. Had to stay off the bike until the first of March. Went for a short ride with SapperMedic a couple weeks ago. Found out that although healed up, the muscle got real stiff by the end of the day - kinda cramped up and needed large quantities of Grunt Candy (Motrin). So, I scaled back and stretched and waited. Got out today and managed about 100 miles without discomfort. Dang wind tried to lift me off the saddle today but it felt good.
