Its been almost 7 weeks since my last bike ride.... I think I might be ready to ride again..
I am feeling a bit better lately.. My Physio guy thinks stretches and exersize might fix the Sports hernia that he thinks I have.. I am not yet convinced about that but there is/was some goofy shit going on in my hip...
I am thinking about riding to work again on Tuesday, Why Tuesday?? because thats when my next physio appt is...Teo will see first hand what is going on if riding to work messes it up. I feel like an ass when he asks whats wrong and its not currently hurting.. sometimes I think its rotting away from the inside out and other times it feels perfectly fine.
So I have the Final #'s in from last year.. The bike riding summary is as follows
Total Days that I rode my bike...99 out of 365 = 27% of the days
