Earlier this week i felt some back twinges. Nothing serious,... but... Today my back went out. I was reaching for something on the floor; something i do every day; I'm pretty spry and flexible. NOT any more. Oh brother.
We were planning to ride up to the north end of Seattle to help out in a work party stuffing packets for Ramrod. All i wanted to do was go to the chiropractor. DH suggested i take the light rail AFTER the chiropractor so i could rest myself for a bit; so that's what i did. Got very good TLC at the chiro and then got on the train. While i was hanging my bike, the train moved... and I almost fell over it felt so bad!!
the rest of the train ride wasn't as fun, as i was recovering from the lurch.
Got off the train (didn't touch my bike until the train stopped moving!!!) and rode the rest of the way to Seattle center where I met Donald. At this point i realize my seat is different today, i am heavier on my hands and my crotch... muscle spasms in my back I guess. But the nutty thing was; i felt better when i was pedaling than when i stopped. Got to the work party and sat down OW
after the packet stuffing party, all i wanted to do was get on the bike. We rode home along the waterfront, with a chilly (wonderful) wind coming across the Sound onto us. (I could have ridden back and forth THERE all night!
The rest of the ride was uneventful, but every time we had to stop at a light I groaned. (I even went through 1 light where there was no traffic so i didn't have to stop.
19.5 miles today.
