Sidelined

I've been sidelined for a while with a very stiff and sore neck. After a month of great pain I finally went to the Dr who sent me to a Physical Therapist who asked me a lot of questions and then said I have to change a lot of things I've been doing (posture, work environment, etc.) but the main thing she said is to raise my handlebars and only ride on the road til I heal up. I was surprised that she knew exactly what the issues were relating to biking and to mtn biking in particular!

Riding on the road with a mtn bike is better than switching to a road bike cuz the fat tires and shocks would help protect my poor neck.

Hopefully I'll be healed up and back in the woods soon.
