- Somewhere wet & hilly in NW England.
6 days in and not ridden my bike at all this month!
Days 1-3 were a blur of 'other stuff' and on the 4th (Saturday) I did a full days hiking and scrambling in the mountains (12 miles and 6200' ascent) and whilst doing this I strained what I think (self diagnosed via Google) is my pectineus muscle which is where the top front centre of the leg joins the abdomen.
Was stretching up a moderately steep rock face and I felt this popping feeling at the top of my leg and then it felt like a blunt knife had been pushed in.
Was irritable yesterday as I had a 50k planned and couldn't go as I was limping about ,albeit the pain was pretty mild mostly with the occasional sharp jolt.
Got up 5.30 today and still limping a bit. Not sure whether to not ride at all, do a short ride of say 15 miles and see how I feel or crack on with my challenge ride.
Common sense says don't ride at all until the pain/limp goes.
But it's in the balance at the moment...
