Bicycle Diaries
30 years riding, 15 years writing
Powered by Motrin
While taking time out as the McAlpine was being fixed up, my right shoulder started to bother me. It got to the point that I couldn’t use my right arm for anything, not even mousing.
A trip to the doctor and he assured me I was fine, he prescribed Motrin. A few weeks of this anti-inflammatory drug, my shoulder feels fine but I now have some tingling in my finger tips, carpal tunnel rearing it’s ugly head.
After a few miles today, I thought I’d have to cut the ride short from fatigue, but I decided to continue. I had to start riding again because I’ve gained 10 lbs in the last month of inactivity and I’m not about to give up my chocolate ice cream at night ;)
MTB: distance 13.33 miles, average speed 11.7 mph.
Charlotte, NC
Spent 10 years in Charlotte, a block away from an entrance to the McAlpine Creek Greenway.
Switched to a mountain bike from the road bikes I was accustomed to riding for 15 years.
The time spent on these trails was most appreciated.
