Yikes, sounds painful

I remember looking back and not seeing you there, thinking "this isn't Black Rock yet!"

Maybe the sprinting over the bumps and hills wasn't the greatest idea after all

I finally got around to ordering some arm & leg warmers today in a batch of misc stuff from probikekit (they have a 10% off everything sale till the end of the month) .. so hopefully I'll only have one more chilly weekend morning on Beach Rd __________________ Peter Cannondale Synapse Carbon Scalpel Cyclocross Ultra

Veeral Member Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Melbourne,Australia Posts: 64	hey peter well my legs are fine... the other day my quads were just too fatigued to ride anymore thats all. It seems I need to carry alot more sugar on me.. so i might try a powerbar or a goo gel this weekend. it will be a good idea if you do get some winter clothing.. who knows maybe we could embark on a really early morning ride one day somehow that has a low probability of occuring LOL... brooke you still up for a ride on SAT or are you having a day off for your event on Sunday? I can ride on either day.

By the way Veeral, I took your advice - after 5 days of being sore, I went and had a massage. I didn't think he could hurt me any more than when I went for my shin splints - but my hamstrings!!!! The pain!!! That was Tuesday, just starting to feel normal again today..... Anyway, yep, I'm up for a ride this saturday if you're both keen

Well i went for a massage last nite and i was in agony when my quads got massaged. mind you the pain didnt last too long since i stomached the pain quite well. anyways i'll see you on Sat, how about if we hammer up any up hills.

rek Registered User Join Date: Sep 2002 Location: Melbourne, Australia Posts: 1,200	On the topic of pain, I twisted my ankle today going down the stairs (somehow I misjudged things and came down very badly on my right foot) I can't even walk let alone go cycling I tell you what, getting the 200 metres or so from work to the car was an exercise in mind over body, oh the pain!!!!! Lucky I didn't ride in or else I would have been up the creek! How about we try something different, can someone ELSE get injured next week? I've got the short end of the stick two weeks running now __________________ Peter Cannondale Synapse Carbon Scalpel Cyclocross Ultra

ANyway hope you are back on your feet soon... Now Veeral I wouldn't tease you about twisitng your ankle when you run.....that must have been very painful... Well i guess i'll see you tomorrow at 10 (or should I say about 10:15

rek Registered User Join Date: Sep 2002 Location: Melbourne, Australia Posts: 1,200	Well you wouldn't know it but the ankle feels about 90% now, theres only a slight pain if I bend it weirdly on purpose.. so things should be good to go tomorrow I really wish I stopped being as accident-prone though __________________ Peter Cannondale Synapse Carbon Scalpel Cyclocross Ultra

Veeral Member Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Melbourne,Australia Posts: 64	well i dont think i will be riding tomorrow because of the weather. However, on wednesday i got up at 5am and joined the North Road Bunch for a ride. I have to admit it was a beautiful ride especially along Beach Road when you can see the lights lighting up the arc of the bay. I was so buggered at work and I am still paying for it.. well i guess i must be low on iron.. though i am gonna try and cycle a bit more in the early mornings now
