Recovered From My Last Mishap – BionicOldGuy
As I mentioned in my last post I finished my group ride last week by taking a tumble while getting off my bike. I landed on my derriere pretty hard as well as my head. The head was well-protected by my helmet, and later that day I got a replacement with even better safety rating from my bike shop. My head was pretty much undamaged thanks to the helmet. I got some whiplash which fortunately didn’t affect the cervical spine but did make my neck muscles sore for a few days. My back was ok, no fractures, but the natural padding provided by my glute muscles took the brunt of it so those muscles were very sore. I took it easy riding for a few days, but was still able to train the upper body hard. Yesterday was my first longer and harder ride, and everything felt much better. It’s nice to learn the lesson from a mistake like the one I made, and then bounce back from it.
