Recovery: Riding Is More Than Just Spinning Wheels
JUNE 6, 2011 BY 198 3 COMMENTS

Injury, sickness and life. 3 things that get in the way of our riding and sometimes set us back a couple of pegs in our endurance. It is just the way things go in our sport and it is not ifï¿½it is when.
Over the past couple of weeks, our riding group has seen its share of injuries. Off the top of my head, there is one separated shoulder, one ti repaired broken collar bone, a knee that possibly has something torn in it, a broken back, a new baby, 2 pregnant wives and my latest sickness that laid me flat out for over 10 days (still not all the way out). While this is a lot at once, it is pretty normal amongst large groups of cycling friends.
What is one unifying characteristic that unites us all together?
We are all impatient and want to get back on the bike as quickly as possible. Nowï¿½for those with the life circumstances, it isnï¿½t that big of a deal other than coming to the gripping realization that all fo that time off the bike does in fact add up. For those of us in injury and sickness mode, the stir crazy, ï¿½I am going to jump out of my skin if I donï¿½t get back on my bike soonï¿½ feeling often entices us to do something stupidï¿½like I did this weekend.
