Ok, SK I will go to photobucket!! And you should give yoga another try. Maybe there are poses that won't stress the wrist??

I can feel it almost immediately when I don't do core work - my back starts kiling me on climbs. This was especially true after my Nov. crash - but I seem to have re-habbed myself being more diligent. I have to force myself to do the core work, but it is the most valuable 1/2 hour a week for my back (about 15 minutes 2 x a week is all I can stand). My riding partner who does Pilates is amazing. Her upper body is almost motionless on the bike - she's like a dressage rider. All that moves are her legs.
