Back To Group Riding! – BionicOldGuy
I decided my stamina had come back enough that I could try my Tuesday group ride. We did one of my favorite rides- “round the reservoirs” plus an out and back on Casa Loma Road. I rode my recumbent because it’s easier on my back and less likely to cause a flareup of my stenosis. I used electric assist as needed to keep up. and had plenty of battery to get me through the ride. Very enjoyable ride on a beautiful late fall day.


After the ride was over I had a freak fall getting off the bike. As I swung my leg over it snagged on the frame tube, so was temporarily balanced on one leg. Before I got it lose I fell over backwards, slamming my back (near the sacrum) and my head on the pavement. Fortunately my helmet saved me. So now I’ve got a new helmet (it’s not a good idea to re-use one after a big impact). Also a sore back, which should go away in a day or two. Time to work more on balance!
