It's now a week later, Sunday again, and The Ride is still with me! lol At the end of Ride Day, May 5, I noticed I had a small muscle spasm in my lower back but I figured, eh, it'll go away with a hot shower. Not. It coalesced into a Very Sharp back pain which has followed me the whole week. I finally figured out 3 Advil every 4 hours would tame it but I don't like drugs, even Advil, so I've been off and on trying to see if it had gone away. It hasn't yet. Oh well, The Ride was worth it! Right now the overall total sponsorship level is at $95, 500! WhooHoo! And still going up!
