mtbdarby... LOL I know all about that too! I was specifically told to stay off the bike which I interpreted to mean ride as long as it doesn't hurt... I never was very good at following directions...

centuries are like anything else... anyone can do one, ya just gotta be willing to put in saddle time... my very first ride was only 10 miles and I layed on my couch for 3 hours afterward trying to recover... I was sure the Grim Reaper was outside and that death was imminent... yep, I've come a long way baby!

how quickly will you get the results of the MRI? Dang... I sure hope it turns out to be something that Aleve and a bit of time will help and nothing more... hang in there and please keep us posted... OH! and yes, it's Jennifer...
