We were participating in the Coast Ride and riding our bikes from San Francisco to Santa Barbara in 3 days. This meant an average of 128mi. per day. \u00a0Living in Reno with the epic snow we&#8217;ve been getting meant most of us have been limited to riding indoor trainers. \u00a0Therefore, we all went into this ride with low mileage in the saddle. \u00a0But, everyone did so great! \u00a0We had two of our own sag vehicles and split the riding days. Three of the girls were rockstars and rode one of the full days! \u00a0Despite the near-constant rain and headwinds we had an epic time!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image1-e1453735046405.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3805\" src=\"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image1-e1453735046405-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"image1\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image1-e1453735046405-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image1-e1453735046405-450x600.jpg 450w, http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image1-e1453735046405.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0In addition to minimal mileage, I was still dealing with occasional residual low-back pain. Julie had been carefully leading me through a modified training schedule the weeks prior to the ride due to throwing my back out twice! \u00a0I must say, listening to your wise coach is a wise decision! \u00a0Julie was concerned about me tackling the mileage; therefore I took full advantage of our sag vehicles by riding half days and sagging the other half. \u00a0At the end of the second day, I reluctantly decided to jump in my car with only 18mi. to go, but I could feel the inflammation flaring in my back. \u00a0I was so upset at my body and majorly bummed out! \u00a0But more importantly, I really didn&#8217;t want to mess things up! \u00a0Julie had helped me to continue training through the back issues, got me to where I was, and I wanted and needed to come out of this adventure stronger.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_6775.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3806\" src=\"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_6775-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6775\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_6775-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_6775-450x338.jpg 450w, http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_6775.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now that I&#8217;m back in Reno, I&#8217;m happy to be back in the gym and continuing the strength training.
