Memorial Day weekend

40 miles, 2600 ft

Non-commute training began on Memorial Day weekend with a delightful ride from Santa Clara to Santa Cruz via a most magnificent winery. Perilously, the Soquel-Santa Cruz road had a massive hole in it due to California's complete inability to cope with any rain. This turned out to be an unexpected benefits as riders were able to edge round the enormous hellmouth, but drivers could not so there was zero traffic on the descent.

Schrodinger's Cat

0 mi, 0 ft There has been a pain in the left hip since June 2018.  It was attributed to an enthusiastic excess of biking.  Biking for May bike-to-work month, 26 miles in headwinds both ways.  Weekend biking.  A personal best biking up Mount Hamilton for Memorial Day weekend.  Hip pain not an illogical outcome. For details of original diagnosis and physiotherapy, see here , here and here .  Suffice it to say that in the interim, counter-balancing muscles have been vigourously developed to mitigate the strain on the hip flexors when walking, standing, sitting.  The pain is not gone, but no longer a central feature.  Focus has been dissipated to further pains - an October left knee injury at the gym, and ongoing slight pain in the left elbow, attributed to the general stresses of working out.  Perhaps too many push ups.  This is presumably the essence of mid-thirties life; chronic niggling joint pains. Come 2019, a shift from the ta...

Recruit the Glute

0 mi, 0 ft Following the Memorial Day Mt Hamilton extravaganza , some pain was experienced in the lower half.  This is a reasonably typical occurrence, having surmounted a veritable mountain under one's own propulsion.  Most of the pains evaporated over the ensuing days, with the exception of a particular niggle in the left hip.  Of course, bike commuting continued for the remainder of the week as it continued to be May, and thus points were accrued for the bike-to-work month challenge. The following week entailed international travel, and as such, an enforced week off the beloved bicycle.  Probably for the best as the hip was becoming increasingly painful.  A week off biking would undoubtedly permit adequate recovery.  But the week wore on, the pain increased, and the ibuprofen so foresightedly packed had to be rationed.  An online search yielded a great host of exercises for hip pain, which were obediently executed on the floors of various hotel...

Perfect Posture

0 mi, 0 ft Good news to commence: a powerful mind-glute connection has been developed for both left and right sides.  "Like night and day!" per the chipper physiotherapist "B" at the most recent of many expensive appointments.  Better yet, through mountains of practice, hours in front of the mirror, constant core engagement , and judicious leveraging of now-mighty glutes, perfect posture has become routine.  The pelvis no longer tilts posterior or anterior, the spine is straight, and it is once again possible to multitask whilst standing, walking and sitting.  "Your posture is transformed!" gasped a friend upon sight following a month-long lapse. Secondarily, the less good news: Month Three of ongoing hip pain despite the successful postural rectification.  The trochanteric bursitis is all but gone, but transpires not to be the initiating symptom.  There was a subsequent long phase during which an overly tight tensor fascia lata (TFL) hip flexor was ...
