Recovered From My Last Mishap – BionicOldGuy

As I mentioned in my last message I ended my group ride last week by falling off my bike. I landed pretty hard on my butt as well as my head. The head was well protected by my helmet and later that day I got a replacement one with an even better level of safety from my bike shop. My head was virtually undamaged thanks to the helmet. I had whiplash which luckily didn’t affect my cervical spine, but left my neck muscles sore for a few days. My back was fine, no fractures, but the natural cushioning provided by my gluteal muscles took the brunt, so those muscles were very sore. I rode easy for a few days, but still managed to train my upper body hard. Yesterday was my first longer, harder ride, and everything was going much better. It’s good to learn from a mistake like the one I made and then bounce back.
