After a day of utterly lame (lamer) cycling performance and really tired all day I've just discover what looks like the start of a groin hernia, this is not the news I wanted leading up to me Amstel gold race.

ouch!

    I had one of those last year - probably brought on by cycling in my case and kept me off the bike for quite a while. If it is what you think and you want my tuppence worth, PM me.

    :shock: Not a good week for you. I'd pack up now, we don't want you keeling over on a Col.

    To cheer you up, 5 days off the bike in NYC, coupled with beers and junk and my weight has risen by 6lbs. Got so more work to do to shift it down again

    What he said.

    Unfortunately surgery is the only option for a hernia.

    I thought that was the point?

    Get Frau Schlingbender to loosen the tethers a little if you can't take it, noob.

    By pure chance I've discovered alcohol eases the pain, excellent!!!

    Not wanting to miss out on the recent spat of crashes and injuries, I've had a niggling knee pain for about a month now which I attributed to poor cleat set up that knee pain has made its way to my neck now, then it occurred to me that it's been months since I last followed a routine of stretching post workout, sure enough I can barely touch my toes ATM.
