I thought my neck was recovered pretty much 100% from the bad whiplash in October (fall on mtb trail). I rode 18 miles Saturday, no problem. Rode 16 miles Sunday in windier conditions, neck was fine until it woke me up that night. It is FINALLY calmed down, so of course I am going to ride this evening in the lovely 78 degrees they say we will have. We will see what I feel like tomorrow.

For most of the winter I had an extra spacer on my stem (1cm). My custom Gunnar was designed to have a very upright riding position to begin with, and we raised the stem as far as it would go after the injury when I was cleared to ride with caution.

The spacer was removed before my rides this weekend, so I am hoping that replacing it will take care of things. I do have an actual fit session planned Friday afternoon though - my fitter has proved very good at finding ways to accommodate my various physical issues to allow me to ride all day long. I hope that this just means that my neck needs to reaccustom to riding again...I want to mtb this weekend if the weather permits, but I think I need to wait until I can at least ride 20 miles on the road without repercussion.

This is a little depressing, so encouraging comments would be helpful. I know there are those here with even worse injuries than mine who are now happily riding and that is in itself encouraging.
