Tracey Trek...#4. Reflection & Video


My Back

Well I have to say I'm really chuffed. Although my back ached, I didn't develop any nasty side effects or drawbacks that were a threat.  Indeed I think it has actually helped loosen up some of the flexibility. Of course sat in a semi-pheotus position for hours on end is going to have some impact on how the back feels but certainly it wasn't prohibitive.


I've got some more appointments with the Chiropractor, so will be interested to hear her 

opinion at the assessment. At least she won't be telling me off for overdoing it. Well, what she doesn't know won't hurt, will it!


One thing I did feel the benefit from was the dreaded cold bath. I declined the option of sitting in a glacier type lake. I was too chicken for that, the bath was bad enough.  But you know what, it had a real soothing effect on my lower back and certainly it re-invigorated my legs for the following days cycling.

Try it. After the initial heart attack it's sadistically refreshing!

Video Footage


Well I couldn't finish this mini series without at least showing you some of what I've been rattling on about for the last few weeks.

I've put a video together of some of the riding we did.  If you want to skip to the descents then they start at about 32 mins and 1 hour.  You'll find it on this link:
