I will try to post more often now, I think I had petered out somewhat, maybe due to being a bit discouraged. I\u2019m doing a lot of PT, stretching and strengthening, for muscles around the lower back and hip area so hopefully there will be no more backslides. I\u2019m back to around two hours of exercise a day on average, including biking, my upper body strength work, and PT. So far so good!  <\/p>\n<p>Friday I rode my upright over to the Coyote Creek trail but rode my upright on the dirt trails in the vicinity instead of the paved path. These are very lightly used, I think they\u2019re more intended for horseback riding, but they are great for bikes too as long as you have wide enough tires. I\u2019m able to stand for longer periods again on the upright which I find to be a fun alternative to seated riding.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12254\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/2024\/12\/09\/back-on-track-2\/image-321\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image.png\" data-orig-size=\"540,355\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image.png?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image.png?w=540\" width=\"540\" height=\"355\" src=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image.png?w=540\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image.png 540w, https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image.png?w=150 150w, https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image.png?w=300 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Santa Cruz Mountains in distance, from a dirt trail near Coyote Creek<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Yesterday it was back to the recumbent for a tour up into the hills Southwest of town.
