Late Spring Riding

Although we are only a few weeks from the official start of summer, the weather has still been cool like late spring lately, a beautiful time to be riding. I’m able to pretty routinely go on brisk three hour rides lately, with no sciatica symptoms. I’ve been doing a lot of PT work to keep the nerve openings in my lower spine open, and strengthen the surrounding muscles to support the area.

Aside from that, I’ve avoided long hard rides. It’s either a long brisk cruise or hard stuff like intervals and strength training on shorter days. Not only is it avoiding symptoms, but I enjoy this combination.Most of my riding is still on my recumbent. I’m only doing shorter rides on my upright.

I still have to toughen up my butt for longer upright riding as it got soft when I couldn’t ride as much the last time my sciatica flared up badly. I’m chipping away at fixing that.The Grass Has Switched to Summer Mode on the Coyote Creek Trail. I am a Mechanical Engineer born in 1953, Ph. D, Stanford, 1980.

I have been active in the mechanical CAE field for decades. I also have a lifelong interest in outdoor activities and fitness. I have had both hips replaced and a heart valve replacement due to a genetic condition. This blog chronicles my adventures in staying active despite these bumps in the road.
