Re: Wrightwood, CA
Trike,
The back only bothered me for about 24 hours (and it didn't kick in until about 24 hours after the ride - so I'm not 100% sure if it was the culprit - probably though). I went to the gym towards the tail-end and did my core routine, including upside down situps, incline situps, sideways situps and roman chair leg lifts. Was probably just sore (old) muscles - nothing important broken. At 50 I'm coming to grips with a sharp decline in muscle strength, endurance, flexibility and limberness. Things seem to tear and tighten up a lot easier and stay that way for longer. Sooner or later I'll probably tear, pull or strain something more-or-less permanently and then I will be sorry, but, until then, I'll probably continue to live in a state of denial.
I've hurt myself a lot more in the gym and on the racquetball court and the soccer field - three more activities I probably shouldn't be doing at my age. I hate getting old.
