Default Update

I haven't visited here in a while. But I'm now about seven months into my SCS implant. I mountain bike twice a week, averaging one six hour and one three hour ride per week, with 2,000 to 5,000 ft. of climbing. Three rides per week were too much. I have fallen off my bike dozens of times with no problems. So far I have not gone over the handlebars like I occasionally used to. That would probably spell trouble.

The SCS is not as effective while riding since my back is hunched a bit, which reduces the stimulation. But it certainly makes enough difference while not riding to justify the procedure. I have also gone back to my usual one hour weight workouts 3-4 times per week. I'm just careful about how much I bend my back.
