Back To Longer Rides

2025-05-22

I am back to being able to do longer rides as long as long as I don’t overdo the intensity. I think what went wrong that led to my recent sciatica flare-up was that I had combined long rides with hard riding, including sprints and intervals on the same day. Now I’m keeping the pace “brisk but comfortable” for the longer rides, and only doing more intense riding on shorter rides.

I went for over three hours relatively easy paced last Saturday and yesterday and it felt great. Yesterday was my group ride, we went around Chesbro and Uvas reservoirs West of Morgan Hill. This involved some steep climbs, but I was able to control the effort with electric assist on my recumbent. Recently I’ve been keeping to shorter rides on my upright but I think my back is recovered enough to go further on that bike also.

It was cloudy and a bit cold the first part of yesterday’s ride but the sun came out to stay when we were taking a break at Uvas reservoir. 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.
