2007-05-27 - Let's ride to Southend and then out into the sea

velocity boy Race-blades are what I have.
Regards back, if it's lower back, stretch lots. Arch backwards, and lean so that your hand runs down the outside of your leg. Don't power-stretch... hold each stretch for 30 seconds at least.

Yep. I used to get lower back pain. This is different. I can barely touch my toes. It feels more like I've injured it rather than just being 'sore'. I'll do some more stretches in a tick.

Are you taking your road bike? I'm thinking of Dunwich and Etape and really should be getting the kays in on the Ribble but don't wanna 'wuss out' when I have the Raleigh here. :)
