I'm starting to feel like an old banger at the end of its useful life.
The latest impairment is back trouble that seems to have arrived from nowhere. Well, perhaps not nowhere, but from some fairly mild cycling. I've had a couple of instances of lower back pain after rides. However, the latest came after driving.
We'd been up the coast for a pleasant Sunday in Thorpeness and Aldeburgh - a drive of just over an hour. I was fine on the way up but when we got home I could barely walk from the car - my lower back feels like it's been belted with a hammer.
I'm hoping a few days of taking it easy (all I seem capable of these days) will help, but it's pretty dispiriting when getting up from a chair needs forward planning.
Hope this passes soon.
