I'm currently nearly 4 months making myself a fraction shorter with a headfirst dirt dive. My back is still sore every day, and if I let the painkillers wear off completely I lose all motivation within a few hours because the pain just grinds at me.
I've been keeping sane building and servicing bikes and doing odd jobs around the house mostly. Once they let me on the trainer I've added an hour of that a day too. Then I was allowed to lift light weights, so now there's an hour or so of that every couple of days. And now I can drive so I've started heading out to work with others to hopefully expand some skill sets.
But MTB mojo is shattered. I've been out 3 times now, first two were basically firetrail rides with the kids. Then I went out with the club last week which was a blast, but I'm scared of almost everything at the moment. Fit as I've ever been with all the zwift KMs, but I'll be wearing my brake pads down at twice the normal rate if I keep this up
I reckon it's just exposure. I've helped myself a bit by keeping the enthusiasm up playing with bikes and sharpening the fitness every day. The big drawcard at the moment is to see how all this works out on the trails. I'm equally worried about riding as I am excited, this is a new one and I hope it doesn't last.
