Gave me a bunch of stretches/exercises. It’s been a couple days and I’m already noticing positive improvement. Biggest change: hold stretches for 2 minutes, rather than just 30 seconds.14 May 2026 18:47 +0000at://did:plc:lpnmajbcco2dfqq3mfcdmskn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlti4wqp4k2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/hydrogeo.bsky.social/post/3mlryn2m4xk2vUpdate: - Just over 2 hour ride - a steady 20 km climb until snow stopped me at 994 masl - locked up my brakes coming down on a gravel section b/c I’d forgotten there was a downed tree across the road and managed to save the bike and not crash Motivation level: remained low, but I did it anyway.
