It’s no biggie.
There was nothing I couldn’t do on my old steel bikes except tapping threads and straightening frames. On this plastic thing, I’m a little spooked by BB installation and it’s probably not worth buying the drift sets for the various bearings, but otherwise I see no issues. I’d probably also take it in to have the derailleur hanger aligned.

Well, let’s proceed on the assumption that my HRmax is 188.

I am scheduled to have a spinal injection next Friday. Just got a call that I first have to have a COVID test on Tuesday. Drive through between 8:30 and 11:30.

Don't forget to stop your rat poison pills a few days before!

Incidentally, for those worried, my back injury from 10 days ago finally feels like it's returning to normal.

I have a lifetime of bad back stories. I see a chiropractor about once a month but I have also learned to deal with it on my own. The two things that help the most are to maintain a straight back when lifting anything just as a straight back is best for riding the bike. The second thing is exercises to strengthen core muscles.

My sympathies to all the back sufferers. My back was hurting on this morning's ride and it's now clear I have a quadratus lumborum strain.

Up from 177, if we believe the numbers (see 41 thread I started). I have a tiny little hi-revving heart. My resting HR is seldom below 55, with a rock bottom of 48.

The other day, on my first trainer session of the year, I was happy to see my HR plateauing at ~160 after three 8min long intervals at FTPish.
