I get some pains down my arm for a few hours after a long ride but that's part of it. He said as long as any symptoms are transient I can keep it up.
Gonna try that 100K ride hopefully on the weekend after this one.
And am serious about an endurance bike...I think that would take alot of strain off my neck.
I think you should come up with a few things to tell your wife the doctor ordered.
One tip for the distance riding, try to time your route so you're not finishing into a headwind.
Have you flown yet? You might be the TSA's scanning nightmare with all the metal bits.
Have fun on the 100km!!!
