Feb 9 Today, my last 'taking it easy' day on the Peleton. Picture is of some nasty science experiment growing in a bottle I left on the Peleton last week.

Feb 5 Forgot to post this one. I'm so stir crazy! I'm not permitted to put much load on my gluteal tendons but needed to get outside. So I joined a road ride, but did it on my ebike so I could just spin. Afterwards I walked over the Bulls Island bridge to get a beer. Picture is of the frozen...

Feb 3 Just spinning to get blood flowing

Feb 2 If this continues into February, then I might be back on a real bike before it ends. Last Thursday I got seven PRP injections, and then basically sat around on painkillers all weekend. I’ve been told not to ride for 2 weeks. I sat on the Peleton today and spun very easy, doing most of...

Jan 24 Yesterday was leg day so just a quick 30min warmup on the Peleton. Trying hard to get myself back on it today.

Jan 23 I so desperately wanted to get outside today assuming I'll be in the basement for the next several. So I ended class early to give myself enough time to get in an hour at Chimney Rock. I'm so glad I did. I was a bit hesitant that conditions would be either a sheet of ice or slush/mud...

Jan 22 Short outdoor ride before another MRI appointment. Mtb on the road.

Jan 20 My fan is bigger than your fan.

My husband has work in Utah this week, and since I’m still on winter break, I joined him with plans to ride each day. Little did I know that this part of Utah is totally not rideable this time of year. No one would even rent me a mountain bike. So I ended up getting a gravel bike and went for a...

January 13 Ebike around Round Valley. So so many trees down that I decided to complete the loop on the road rather than out and back. Picture is of a tree that looks like a perfect three tined pitch fork.

January 12 Gluteal Insertional Tendinopathy! After 2.5 yrs and nine different docs telling me my pain is coming from my spine, yet no one could isolate, treat or fix it, I may finally have the answer. Doh, the tendinopathy is exactly where the pain is. Why was this the first of nine docs to...

January 10 Just stuck close to home in case the rain started. Riding around small neighborhoods and lot of horses.

Jan 8th After a year of letting my Yukon go to crap thinking I was going to sell it, last week I decided to keep it. So I dropped it off at the shop today and rode my gravel bike home. Picture is of my outdoor Christmas donations which will hopefully get put away this weekend.

Jan 7 Felt very off and dizzy today, but forced myself outside for a little mtb spin on the road. Today's pic is for Robin, from Mt Salem Rd.

1/6 Brisbane. Super dry considering the 40 something temperature. Today's ride was a test of new grips and an increased handle bar angle. I was quite happy with both. So does this count as a photo even though I posted it on Strava? Or do I just not put any pics on Strava for a while?
