Is this the End of Pcad?

Take a whole year off the bike. It takes old guys longer to heal. If you don't allow time to heal completely it will just come right back. Work on core and legs (abductors and adductors) leg presses and leg curls. Work on diet and lose some weight. Yoga and massage would help. Get a young girl friend or get your wife to help with prostrate therapy. Rest and recover and maybe you will come back stronger.
what kind of prostrate therapy? never heard of it...

To be honest though, I don't mind recumbents at all. I don't ride one, but I love hanging out with them on rides. They seem to really cruise on flatter areas, and if they have the little plastic shield up front are amazing to draft off of.

I just got off the phone with some attorney who really sounded like a bit of an imbecile. Those are the guys who can't communicate their convoluted project , but they treat you like a moron because you can't understand the unfathomable bull**** they have presented you with. The only way to get rid of these blowhards is to tell them their work is too complex for you to understand. That always makes them feel smarter than you and gets them out of your hair pretty fast. I've been doing this a long time, I can smell a guy that you don't want to work for within a couple of minutes on the phone. I always go with that instinct now, because when I don't, I am invariably sorry I didn't.
Google really does attract a wide range of idiots. But we get a fair amount of work out of it nonetheless. Sometimes you do need your hip waders.

The only exception being the pain in the ass fee. Sometimes I'll take it for the premium.

My friend was busting my balls to day that this is primarily a woman's condition, which may be true. The physical therapist I'll be seeing has treated a bunch of male cyclists with this syndrome over the past few years. Strikes me as the long distance cyclist equivalent of shin splints.
I think women are more prone to it due to anatomy and childbirth, etc., but I would imagine that combining 90K road cycling miles and middle age will do it to you too.

I'll start with 60 days and take if from there. Hell, the longest I've been off the bike in 7 years was 3 days until I tried 10 days off recently. That wasn't enough.

Pcad, I know you're some kind of legend around here, and I am a newbie. I know you're going to kill me, so please make it good cause I do enjoy a good laugh. A simple " Bite me" just won't do. The pressure's on.
Oh, and sorry to hear about your sore nether regions. Luckily, I'm not a dedicated enough rider to probably ever have to worry about such things. Speedy recovery to you!

I'm actually surprised this hasn't gone to 10 pages by now. I think pcad is losing his touch.
And the offer for the TT bike stands. I'll take it in the name of saving pcad's ass
