You may not ride 1000 miles in 24 hours but you do ride great distances over several days. Hang in there and take care of yourself...someone once said Pain is weakness leaving the body...based on what you've described you're one helluva a strong woman.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Curt<br /><br /><a href="www.curtcarter.com" rel="nofollow">Live Free.

I know - my Mom had Scleroderma (a member of the same rheumatoid family). <br /><br />Yes, I recently rode an Iron Butt (1,000 miles in a 24 hour period) and paid the physical price for a week afterwards. My 55 year old body (beat up from 30+ years of competitive volleyball) screams at me because my mind continues to think I am 18! <br /><br />I have to remind myself to "ride my own ride." This last, long-long trip I was on, I was forced to lower my daily miles which completely frustrated me. I have now adopted the philosophy "build a bridge and get over it." Easier said then done!
