Good for you! That is great news!
40 miles is a big accomplishment!
Did you end up going on meds so hopefully you won't risk crashing again?

You are awesome!!! I'm so glad that you got to ride long! I always feel a little safer when I ride with my doctor. Of course, I have to ride hard to keep up with him.

I did go on meds, they have helped, not completely taken care of the problem but helped. Starting november 1st I'm going to go off them and try a special diet that is supposed ot help and also will help tell if it might have been a nutrition problem maybe. I just have to be closely monitored they say. We'll seeDid you end up going on meds so hopefully you won't risk crashing again??

Getting back into the saddle is half the challenge.
Congratulations for tackling it.
