Norco Maniac
Is back!
posting in this section because it's my hardtail that's causing it....
i've been building up my riding stamina by riding short commutes on my hardtail. usually between 10 and 25k's a day, 6 days/week, mostly on the flat with a couple of short sharp hills. fair bit of pedalling seated and i have a Selle Italia lady gel saddle. saddle is up fairly high for pedal stroke efficiency so i have to raise my leg above hip height to straddle the bar, the bike is a bit big for me and also weighs 16.8kg.
it's been building up over the last six weeks of riding, and last weekend's trip away (6 hours train, 2 in car each way) and a fall in the final haven't helped!
i've been doing all the stretching i would usually and have booked a session at my chiro Thursday, today i admitted defeat and saw my GP for some Celebrex. i can't move without grunting from the pain and today's ride was awful.
does anyone else have a tailbone story, and what did you do? how long before it resolved and with what treatments?
