Mid ride rest stop

Still trying to get my back fully fit and making good progress. The only thing that's giving me niggles is cycling. Nothing major but getting pins and needles in my feet after a while and the odd sciatic nerve twang every now and again but it has curtailed my cycling in the last year or so.

Inspired by the good weather and watching the start of the Tour coverage I decided to go out for a bit longer cycle than I have been. Only about 15km but it felt good and no problems for the first 10 km or so but by the time I got home I had very numb feet and horrible skin crawly sensations up my left calf. BUT that's better than it has been for a long while so I shall keep up with the core strength building exercises and my in-house bike mechanic is going to explore some fine adjustments with saddle and handlebar positions.

I'd just like to point out that I did also manage to get back in time for the sprint down the Champs-Élysées.
