Well...the neck is about 95% healed and I have been back on the bike for the past month. I was really discouraged for a couple of months because I really couldn't ride, or do much of anything else, without significant nerve pain radiating down my arms. After traction, meds, and some rest, the neck is really close to completely healed. Riding the past three weeks has had little negative affect.
I will post my rides later this week. I can't express just how glad I am that the neck pain is gone. I wasn't sure I would ever be pain free let alone train for the century. That thought is long gone. January proved kind.
Sorry for the lack of posts but this is supposed to be about cycling, not neck pain and recovery. Since I couldn't train, I couldn't post. Honestly, I just didn't want to. That was a rough experience but thankfully, seems to be over. I will post weekly going forward as I begin my training. Wish me luck!
The Chubby Century is back on!!!
