back on a bike…. one handed

Scott @ bnb laid healing hands upon my neglected road bike and danny has a resistance trainer that i will mount my rideable road bike outside @ his house. spun 30 mins yesterday and 35 today. sweating again & hard breathing. then a shower washing sweat away.

today at the laundromat i chanced upon dangerous dave, an excellent mtn bike rider and a chiro. he sized up my sling. i need to really not use this right arm he said. my right elbow to fingers just went to sleep. did several exercises dave showed me and most feeling returned.

did wash. an older guy folded my sheets for me. danny mostly made my bed tonight, did right fine job of it, similar attention to detail.

so hard to remember how i passed my day.

today i visited daveĀ  @ fat tire for any advocacy discussions. little new. drove down to oak creek. took my bike shoe to absolute, a specialized dealer, to buy a replacement ratchet strap. warranty order @ $5.00 a strap. caught bnb mid afternoon but didn’t catch a buzz. returned to van till almost closing time then walked back to bnb. too hectic plus i was feeling tired so i drove back to sedona for small wild rice salad for dinner @ new frontiers. then down to danny’s for the night. new frontiers and new york bagels are about 15 mins of walking. really like the bagels.

i’m spinning. my body atrophied very quickly. this is the longest time out i have had so far. next exam isĀ  3 plus weeks away, 7 weeks after break.

i can’t tie shoe laces so i can not wear stouter shoes for more adventurous hiking. happy to wear the slip on topsiders.

oh, back to typing left hand only.

randy from spokane commented that he and others will be here for a week in late april. i hope to ride w/ them.
