Howdy folks,

Well, so much for that.

Looks like I jinxed things with Saturday’s post.

Waaaaay too much carnage in Sunday’s races.

Man, I hate to see friends hospital bound.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to everyone involved and concerned.

Hopefully ya’all weren’t part of the collar bone platoon this weekend and were, in fact, able to keep things rubber-side down…

Whichever way things turned out for you at the races, I have a feeling you’re feeling a bit beat up right about now.

Yup.

Time for a…

Recovery Spin –

– Get on your bike. Roll out into the street, and just spin around for an hour.

– Really small gear, no hard efforts – heck, no medium effort.

– Spin. You’re looking to move your legs around in circles, almost like there is no chain on the bike.

– The idea is to get your body moving, flush the systems out, and speed your recovery.

– Just get out on the road and spin aimlessly. At a certain point, your legs suddenly feel better.

– As soon as that happens, turn around, go home, eat, stretch, and put your legs up.

Enjoy!
