Sucks doesn't it.

I did 80 miles yesterday with 5000 feet of elevation gain at about 16.5 mph.

80 miles, not bad.

Ive been cycling a bit...get hurt so i sit for a 2 weeks, ride for a week, sit for 2. it really is a horrible cycle. Did 45 miles yesterday and got a nasty tan/burn line from my vest. I looks really freakin weird.

And how are you hurting yourself so much?

i have a bad shoulder. been putting off surgery (lucky #3) for about a year now. Cycling hurts a bit but isn't to bad, its only long days in the saddle that it starts to get bad. It all comes down to me being very stupid. I am an active person and i simply to stubborn to give up playing ultimate frisbee, swimming, and hockey (laying out in ultimate "tingles" a bit ). I'll sublux it in my sleep every now and then...stuff like that.

Cycling tans are weird. My brother cycled from Connecticut to Californaia one summer and he had a tan back but no tan on his stomach. The front of his thighs were tan but not the back and the front of his shins were not tan but the backs were, all very weird looking. I aslo knew an experienced cyclist that always wore the same size/manufacturer of jersey. When he took off his shirt he looked like he had a perfect white shirt, whart the jersey covered was bright white skin but he had very tan arms and neck.

I, too, have bad shoulders. About 10 years ago arm got tugged backwards in the woods from a poleplant and I developed tendonitis. Got some P.T. and it got better. Now, though, I've been feeling it in the left shoulder and then I had a fall right on the same shoulder mtn biking to compound the problem. I am going to start to some P.T. for the left one like this week.

But, I've found that they don't bother me too bad with the road bike. But I have stayed off the mtn bike lately.
