Had a fall yesterday and bruised my leg, should I ride today or give it some time?

I managed to hit a pothole and come off the bike. Unfortunately I've been left with a big bruise on my upper leg (as well as some other things like a ripped jacket and less skin on my arm than I'd prefer), and the leg gets quite tight when I'm resting but better when it's moved.

The weather is beautiful today, I've replaced the bar and tape, should I ride or will it delay recovery?
