thestoutdog I'll have to give some core exercises a try. I've got to do some physical therapy and weight lifting for a torn ACL so I'll just throw it in those exercises. I tore my ACL on May 5 and couldn't ride for a week or so. Since then I've put about 90 miles on my bike. The PT was impressed with my range of motion. Sounds like I need to look at my work schedule and figure out a way to include a trip to the gym in my morning plans.
