Injured again! More Dialled Bikes MX20R Upgrades.
Woke up early and got my son ready and we rode to the track to get some laps in before gates.
I was on my 2nds warmup lap after the lap to safety lap (slow pump lap to check for stick, stones etc on the track) I gave it some beans down the start hill and started my manual and I got an excruciating pain in the left side of my back! I managed to hold onto the manual and then get off of the track but as soon as I unclipped my left leg and put it on the floor I was in even more pain! Just like that it was my day/ week over!.
I stayed for gates but I was not much use other than pressing the button and telling people what to do but we had a good session all the same!
After gates I walked home to try and ease my back and then took a long radox bath which I thought had helped until I led down to watch a film and then tried to get off of the sofa!!!
I am now in excruciating pain and trying to ice the back to try and get it better to start walking again in the morning!
On a more positive note I finished the day on 12554 steps so it was not all bad!
While I was sat doing nothing I fitted the chain tensioner on the left hand side of my 20″ to make sure that the wheel does not move. I have left the red chain tensioner on the drive side for now as the chain and wheel are currently in the perfect position so I didn’t want to mess with it for now! I am not worried what the bike looks like for now so as long as it rides well I am not bothered!
As I am hurt and I am definitely not going to the next National in Scotland and most likely not the Brits in Leicester at the end of the month either I have also swapped the clipless pedals for my Pedaling Innovation pedals which I am going to use on the bike for the time being as my flat pedal of choice. I used them for a while a couple of years ago and they were much better than normal flat pedals that I have used before as they have a really wide platform for the foot to grip to.
