But it was there once more of course. That High pressure parked over us keeping that rain away is still there - blowing from the north. In the city and around the houses, back on the windy roads the wind isn't such a factor, sure it is a factor but wide open spaces like farmland or water, on roads/paths that are dead straight, it isn't something that comes and goes - it is there, and it makes you very aware of its presence. And I knew solobreak would be up for CTodd's title challenge. Four eh? Not too bad, esp out of 2202.
Yesterday I woke up with a severely inflamed tendon or bursa on my left shoulder. Same one post T-belt just before Dayville. Same pain. Yesterday it wasn't so bad. Manageable. Last night I slept like crap, any motion involving that tendon/bursa Woke me up. This morning it was worse. Can't really lift my arm up.
My plan for today was to get up, and get out of the house slightly earlier than normal. That didn't work and I wound up leaving 30 minutes later than I'd hoped. I'd prepared Trial #4 and was intending to swing through the office, drop the bag, one bottle, ditch the jacket and the Ibex hat and do a east side hill circuit, from Wickenden to Doyle. Like last week. While I can stand up it hurts like hell and doing those hills and there would be no way I can make it through effectively. I can shift my body position to alleviate the pain but it isn't a terribly powerful way to ride, and hauling my large lanky frame up those 15%+ grades repeatedly demands power, esp with a 42x27.
So #1 being late and #2 being in pain, I bagged it. Call it a full week of rest with just the commute tossed in to keep my legs honest I guess. I'm hopeful I can get out and try the hills on friday if my shoulder issue clears up by then. Damn tendinitis/bursitis.
