Hanging

You might have been wondering what's going on lately. Not much posting here about bike rides... The reason is simple: My bikes are hanging and having a break. Can't really ride them with one arm in the bracelet. And typing is actually really bad for it too... so I sincerely apologize for the lack of posts and my un-ability to post.

It's funny, with all the biking I do, the ~2 big crashes per season nothing big ever happened, but from working at the computer I get an inflammation. Oh well, looks like that is just how life goes. I'm not calling for anything worse to happen ('cuz breaking a bone could be way worse then six weeks in the bracelet...).

So I just sit it out. The trainer works because I don't need to hang on to it with my hands, so I'm spending a lot of time on it. The rest is stretching, mobility training and core work as prescribed by Bike James. He also throws in some high intensity sessions (HIT) after strengthening that really get you sweating. Compared to HIT the easy spins on the trainer are a piece of cake. Got another 4hr session on the trainer planned tomorrow. And yes, I am looking forward to it.

But since Winter has fully evolved it's a waiting for what's to come anyway. I see it as a way of preparing for the next season. I enjoy planning my bike trip to La Palma in March and I was stoked to hear that Seb is doing another photo course in August. So I'm busy working out a plan for that as well.

Downhill racing is still on the schedule. In 108 days I'll be launching myself off the starting ramp of the first race. So, that's the short personal update from my side. I'll try to dig up some substantial posts or illustrations in the next days. Meanwhile you can get my micro-blog, if you follow me on Twitter. Later.
