On the DL list

[Bike Writer]

Saddend to be sidelined by a problem with my RA, a flare up has put me off riding for the last few weeks. The longing for riding is very strong and the improvement in riding weather has been great these last few weeks, but I just sit and stare with a deep desire to get out for a spin but can't.

Color me sad

I thought I'd be out to a great start with the mild winter we had I was able to get out for outdoor rides in winter and kept up on my trainer so I'd be raring to go once the season settled on us. It's hard to want to go so bad and be sidelined.

I've seen my family Dr. and Rheumatologist, had some powerful meds and some testing. I'm hoping that with some rest and staying off the bike and my knee that I'll soon be ready to use it fully.

Happy riding to all!

Aw, bummer. (((((BikeWriter & owlice)))))

Hope you get to feeling better soon and that the meds don't cause you too much problems either.

Sorry to hear that Bike Writer. I sympathize with you... I was out of commission for almost 3 months this year due to medical problems. WHile everyone else was out enjoying the mild winter, I was trying to work up the energy to go to the grocery store. Hang in there and rest up...hope you are back on the bike in no time!
