NOW MY ISSUE.
I gotta be doing something.I need to bicycle, or something, something that takes my full efforts, heart and soul.
So this week I made an appointment with a chiropractor, I thought I would start there. Today was my second visit. Today he told me he wanted to set up an appointment for me to see a neurologist The problems is numbness that has developed in my hands, wrist, and fingertips. Shoulder impingement could do this, so could nerve stenosis, among other non wonderful things. Also I have an appointment with the Orthopedic surgeon, to look at shoulder repairs. So not much bicycling for awhile. I will get this all straightened out. I will be back on the ride.

THE ISSUE
The issue is this. Readers of this blog have lately put up with me whining about shoulder problems. This has crept in over the last couple of months. I suspect due to a combination of hard crashes this winter landing on my shoulders, 100s of hours of riding with a change of handle bar designs that didn't feel right, my continuance to keep riding as shoulders were getting worse.

2. My spirit doesn't get to fly.
4. My body becomes a reservoir for pizza and other assorted junk foods with no burn off.
5. I don't get any faster by not riding my bike and drinking beer.
Today was freezing rain, drizzle, snow and windy. Perfect day for bicycle riding, but I think they are all perfect.
Oh well, I think I'll mix myself a margarita that would comatose a horse
and commence to partake.
Hey thanks for visiting, see you out there on a bike SOON.....

Oh Davie G, I'm sorry to hear about the body not cooperating. Bummer. Maybe you could pop in a few mountain bike videos of extreme riding while you're enjoying that pizza and those margaritas!
Hang in there friend. Hey, we had snow here too in southern WI...bizzare for mid April.
Injuries suck, I'm still healing the back up. No off roading for a while
Yet another injury story to add to the list. Is any part of your body still in pristine,normal condition? Good luck, my brother, I hope I won't need to bring you brownies in the hospital.
The faster you get better the sooner you'll be riding. Make it happen!
Mate, I get horrendous numbness in both hands, a result of a battered body through playing rugby all my life. I'm sort of used to it now, although I could do without it.
I symapthise. I'm looking forward to reading about your next pedal.
I feel your pain Dave, but life goes on, we make adjustments and make the best of every day. I value your Friendship.
Apparently recumbent bicycles are very good at not causing your body too much harm.... you may want to try them out, but I would stick to paved roads! Hope your shoulders get the attention they need, and that you can get better to ride the trails again.
