Sadly, I am currently sidelined and not riding. And going absolutely STIRCRAZY because of it. I've been battling an IT band issue since October-ish and it's finally gotten too bad to ignore. I've started ART treatments http://www.activerelease.com/about.asp with a very well respected doctor here in Portland. No cycling, no running (though I've been cleared to begin again in a very limited manner later this week), but lots and lots of swimming. I've swum 4 of the past 5 days, which is unheard of for me, but if I don't do something, I'll go insane.

This is part of the reason I'm extra sensitive about what I'm eating right now, because my level of exercise has fallen off a cliff. There's only so much swimming I can do, and it just doesn't get my aerobic system going the way cycling or running does.
