When a cyclist experiences an illness or injury, it may be necessary to temporarily suspend or modify his/her riding schedule and training program, in order to facilitate timely and complete healing. For many active cyclists, this recuperation period can be frustrating and discouraging. However, continuing some type of physical exercise and activity remains vital to maintaining fitness, promoting healthy circulation and healing, and supporting mood and emotional well-being. This presentation will include alternative forms of exercise/activity, as well as lifestyle adjustments, in order to maintain physical fitness and positive mood, social connections with cycling friends, and to promote healing after illness or injury.
