core strength exercises off the bike
Too boring. I basically dislike exercise that doesn't feel like it is getting my anywhere. So I don't really like going on a circular ride but a commute or Dunwich Dynamo is great. Equally parkrun is a bit meh but running to work is awesome. And I have the self-discipline of a toddler when I'm bored.
I'd give it some time.
Will do that though.
Cheers, @ffm too.
I'd give it some time. Obviously stop if it gets progressively worse or seriously painful but, as others have said, it will just take a while for the core muscles that help maintain your position to come back.
If you're not doing regular decent distance rides then you could also do some core strength exercises off the bike, should only be 20-30 minutes a few times a week. Don't have any specific recommendations, others may have, I'd just resort to google.
