At first, the weather was the biggest issue with getting any riding done but now...it is personal injuries.
I may have mentioned a while back that I'd hurt my back last January while trying to wrestle my TW in the garage...this has been an on-going problem for over a year now and it's something that I don't wish upon anybody...the level of pain I experienced at the onset was horrendous...nerve pain that I've come to know so well is an awful, awful thing.
If that wasn't bad enough...I also over-extended my left arm to the point where it has created a knot in my neck...that has been on-going for over a month now, but it dwarf's in comparison to the pinched nerve I currently have on the right side of the same neck! Every winter seems to be the same thing...laid up for months with a self-induced injury - I'm getting sick of this. Being in pain 24/7 is not how I intended to spend the rest of my days.
Last Thursday (March 05, 2026) I received my first series of spinal injections and at this time I 'd like to say that they've made a difference, although with these other issues I've been having...I'm not jumping for joy yet. Will be seeing my Physio next week and hopefully she can set me straight...again!
Bike news?
Managed to get out for a brief ride a couple of weeks ago...before the "stinger" appeared.
Still haven't done any major maintenance to either of them, although the CT90 parts arrived and I've been doing piece-meal stuff whenever I get bored.
Bought the parts at Fortnine of all places...should have ordered a couple of spokes to replace the broken one from last year, instead of the Amazon knock-off.
