My pity party is off da hook, yo.
Man, I never thought my riding would end like this... sure, I thought I might burn out, slack off, get alittle fat, or slow down to the 35+ ranks... but off the bike b/c my back no worky? Fugg... not what I expected and not sure how to handle it.Labor day weekend, my wife and child were in Colorado which would normally mean MASSIVE hours on the bike, napping, and eating leading towards nirvana on my 37th birthday. I rode less than 1 block before I couldn't ride any further. I tried to do what non bike racers do, I went fishing and camped out with my dogs. That didn't go so well, didn't catch anything, well..other than my chin with a hook and possibly came too close for comfort to dying of dehydration. Of course I brought my mnt bike, which I crashed in slow motion due to a dog leash and got a nice bruise on my neck... pretty sad and my back is not getting any better.
Called the Dr. for the 3rd time today, I still have not heard how my x-rays looked that were taken back on Aug 22nd. Nothing, nada, zippo... unfortunately, this is how it has to be for the HMO. X-ray then MRI... My chiro gave up, saying there was nothing more he could do and I should see a ortho-pod or neurologist.... so I'm trying to. Almost 4 weeks off the bike... still hovering at 190lbs, but I have hair on my legs and I think they are atrophying.
Just about to garage sale the whole fleet of bikes... I just don't know what I would do with the money if I didn't buy another bike? sigh...
