I was hoping that I was not going to have to send out this email.    

My sciatica has gotten to the point that riding my bike aggravates it and causes me even more issues. Obviously riding my bike while after I had my earlier back issues did not serve me well, I should have let myself to fully recover.   I have had to come to the realization that I need to take time off of riding for a little bit and give my body time to heal. 

At this point i am hoping that that there is enough of a foundation for the Sunday ride to continue.   I will NOT be attempting to micro-manage the Sunday ride in my absence.  My hope is that someone from the group will step up and continue with this "legacy" ride for Albuquerque and continue to meet on Sundays for a group ride.
