Neck....again. Sigh

[Catrin]

Also, to be clear, my neck does have issues pretty much 100% of the time. When I say that <insert crazy activities here> doesn't bother it, I mean that XYZ activities doesn't make it worse then or over the following 24 hours that I have noticed. It isn't that my neck is perfectly normal except during/after riding. I went back and read my earlier wording and it could be interpreted that way but that isn't the case. My coach and I have figured out <insert crazy activities here> that are safe, those that are acceptable if I focus on 100% perfect form, and those that I simply cannot attempt or should not do. It is a balance, and the reason I still am paying the extra fees to be in the small group environment. He keeps me from hurting myself...

If I didn't love riding so much it would already be on the "NO" list. Trying very hard not to put it there, we will see how things go this spring. That mountain bike purchase was almost an impulse buy, little did I know what the full cost would be. I do not regret it however, it was certainly fun when things were working for me!
