I made a decision my stamina had come again sufficient that I might attempt my Tuesday group journey. We did one in every of my favourite rides- “around the reservoirs” plus an out and again on Casa Loma Highway. I rode my recumbent as a result of it’s simpler on my again and fewer more likely to trigger a flareup of my stenosis. I used electrical help as wanted to maintain up. and had loads of battery to get me by means of the journey. Very pleasant journey on a lovely late fall day.
After the journey was over I had a freak fall getting off the bike. As I swung my leg over it snagged on the body tube, so was quickly balanced on one leg. Earlier than I bought it lose I fell over backwards, slamming my again (close to the sacrum) and my head on the pavement. Fortuitously my helmet saved me. So now I’ve bought a brand new helmet (it’s not a good suggestion to re-use one after a huge impact). Additionally a sore again, which ought to go away in a day or two. Time to work extra on steadiness!
