Hesitation. Why? I've been registered for this event since February and looking forward to riding in Arkansas again. No real feelings of misgivings, just a lack of motivation.
Push. Strap the camping gear on Cherise and throw some clothes in her pack. Patti had invited me to spend the weekend with her babysitting the horses at R.O.C.K. Go. Get out of the house!

The shoulder pain that has been plaguing me since I returned from Arizona in March surfaced again in the two hour ride from Georgetown. Advil and Tylenol don't seem to touch it!
Visit with Patti, meet the horses, relax in the pool. The house, though with renovations in progress, is gorgeous!

Advil, Tylenol, Aspirin on a two hour rotation with Aleve twice a day in the background! Keeping this up will give me a stroke, but it's the only way I can even begin to tolerate the pain. The headaches were bad, but at least they responded to a single dose of NSAIDS. This is worse than when I popped my collar bone the day before Skye and I left for the Florida Keys in 2013. I was ok as long as I didn't touch the bike with my left hand. This, it doesn't matter where I put my hand or how I hold my shoulder, the pain is constant!
A visit in Little Rock with Kendal and Jacob. On to Rogers for Lace, Grace & Gears. It's a blur. The hotel was terrible (Motel 6, not the host hotel)! Long parade from Fayetteville to Rogers was nice.
Bill Clinton Boyhood Home NPS in Hope on the way home was a Sears catalog house. It made me wonder about our house on Pataukunk. I just wanted to get home!
Post Script: August 12 I changed chiropractors! Dr. Nick Anthony was able to relieve my shoulder pain in one visit! I went back for a second visit today just for additional support.
My previous chiropractor had worked on it six times and it just kept getting worse ... come more often ... lets use tens ... $$$$ ... Done.
I should have switched sooner.
