Re: The new improved fitness thread
20-mile road ride on my MTB....I think I slashed my best time.....there was nearly zero traffic out there this morning, the weather was perfect, and sometimes you just end up in that perfect zen zone where the miles just float by without fanfare.

I got my suspension back from a service so ran the same trail back to back while bracketing damping. Happy with compression I moved onto rebound. I ran it faster which was excellent for grip but beat up my hands so then I ran it slower. Over the crest is a left hand bend with the 'blue' tree being on the right of the trail.
The rebound was too slow and I got airborne, therefore I went straight and couldn't make the turn. Realising I'm headed straight foe the tree I change tac and aim to run off the trail. Except I hit a thick branch and went over the bars. Doh!
I've buggered my wrist and took a thick sharp branch to the inside of the knee. Was still an enjoyable ride though!!

It was actually a really nice place to lay down for 5 minutes and enjoy nature...

Hope the wrist is just a twinge and comes right quickly mate.
I can tell you from experience future you in 15-20 yrs is going to shake his head at present you for causing all the aches and stiff joints he now deals with
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

Re: The new improved fitness thread
I think I might have gone a bit too heavy on the rack pulls. My back is already aching.

Re: The new improved fitness thread
Good ache. I only did 4 back exercises - rack pulls, bent over rows, wide grip lat and cable rows but it's hit every part of my back. I'll be walking around like a ninja turtle for a couple of days.
