Falling apart part 2 - Return of the Cybermen

Had to call off my end of 'base 1' ride today. Was at the gym on Thursday doing my new programme and singing Mysterious Girl to myself when I put my neck out again! I was doing 'flys' and went to get up from the bench and heard a terrifying crunch from my neck followed by spasms down my back - it was like a scene from a comedy movie... I've been shoving ibuprofen down my neck and trying to ice the offending vertabrae but still ended up walking around like a Cyberman from Dr Who. Basically that put the mockers on any riding today. I'll try again tomorrow but don't hold out much hope. I may have to start riding during the week (in the cold and rain!) at this rate. Only good news is that I spent this morning buying new biking kit in the sales - skin tight and aerodynamic.

  1. Dude - what's the story with your back? This sounds bad? Can you get a back expert or something?
