Well, an old horseback riding injury has come back to haunt me since my New Years Day mtb ride, aggravated by the jarring of that ride & working out at the gym the next day (unaware I had hurt myself). I'm off the bike for the moment nursing a vertebre/disc injury. Had me flat on my back for three days last weekend, then made it to the chiropractor on Monday. Gee, feels great to walk!! Anyhoo....not sure now how my early season will end up, but I'm still going to try to make Feb. 19th my first race. Doc says I can try the trainer now, but only sitting straight up like I'm riding no-hands and only if I don't feel any additional pain with it. We'll see.....

Hope your dh wasn't involved in the crashes, Mel!!
