Well, I just gotta whine a little, okay? I developed some Achilles tendon problems (left side)
during a big winter tour, and it seems the beast has come back for more I was not symptom free,
but I was riding pretty hard (up to 40+ miles w/hills), but then I started stretching, did a couple
of stout rides back to back, and whammo, she's back. I guess I never did get fully recovered. So now
it *looks* like plans for the big summer tour have to be scrapped. I've been missing out on some
great spring riding. In general, I just need a hug and someone to tell me it's going to be OK!
I may be off the bike for some time, so I'm trying to get used to the idea. I've been neglecting my
upper-body workouts. Time to get back with that program. Of course, with this kind of problem, I
can't hike, rock climb, etc. It's just a real show stopper. Sigh....
Any other folks out there deal with this problem? What was your experience? How long did it take to
get back to full riding strength? I got the problem when I did too radical a boom adjustment
mid-tour in early Jan. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I'm seeing a physical therapist on Mon.
Anyway, thanks for letting me vent.
