you tore that bicep tendon trying to ram that little snow toy into work it wasn't prepared for
Maybe try some physical therapy and learn some new stretches as an alternative to getting cut on. It's what I did years ago after a creepy little orthopedic surgeon informed me that I had multi-directional dislocation, pulled and torn tendons as well as worn cartilage and definitely needed surgery. I asked for a referral to the rehab center instead. Most of the riders that I talked to who had shoulder surgery all said that recovery time was closer to a year than the three months they were told. With stretching and going to rehab you can still keep riding and doing other stuff.
I've had to pick a season with a lot of surgeries in the past, some that ended up being a mistake. But if you want to ride bikes, take care of that upper bar holder region. It took me a year or two of doing something else on two wheels to realize just how much upper body stress I was putting on myself holding a bike on rowdy lines.
Ha, old and slow but feeling strong here as well. I've basically been morphing into a T-Rex with a backpack. Legs are the most defined they've ever been. Like you can see trough my pasty flesh and see the muscle groups. If I don't hike the AT this year then I should borrow someone's road bike, shave my legs, spray on a tan and show up to a road race just to watch the 50+ class run around in a panic with their chests all puffed up, then go home and eat some fried chicken in my underwear.
