Back to group riding! – BionicOldGuy

I decided that my stamina had returned enough to attempt my Tuesday group ride. We did one of my favorite drives – “around the reservoirs” and went back and forth on Casa Loma Road. I rode recumbent because it’s easier on the back and less likely to cause my stenosis to flare up. I used electrical assistance as needed to keep up. and it had plenty of battery to get me through the ride. A very pleasant ride on a beautiful late autumn day.

At the end of the ride, I madly fell off my bike. When I swung my leg over it, it caught on the frame tube, so I was temporarily balanced on one leg. Before I lost it, I fell backwards and hit my back (near my sacrum) and my head on the pavement. Fortunately, my helmet saved me. So now I have a new helmet (not a good idea to reuse after a big impact). Also a sore back which should go away in a day or two. Time to work more on balance!
