A Premature End to the Season
I was hoping to get in one last solid week of riding before switching gears for December and January. The plan was to take one last shot at climbing Johnson Fire Rd, maybe attack Rock Store one last time, then start doing barbell work a couple days a week and riding if/when I have time.
Unfortunately, it's been raining pretty solid all week, which makes biking miserable, and quick trail rides impossible.
But I've been nursing a pinched nerve since Sunday. So even if the weather cleared, I'm in no condition to ride. I start treatment tomorrow, and expect it to take a week or two to fully resolve. And once I do that, I need to make sure I don't just do the same thing to myself all over again.
So that's going to be it for my 2014 cycling season, I think. I'll resume riding and begin barbell work once my doctor gives me the thumbs-up, and start laying the groundwork for a solid 2015.
