Sorry for the late reply .. hoping your elbow is healing up into riding shape..i know not riding everyday would be tough on me .... must be really tough on you!
i marvel at the iron man attempt to put the bike in the wind and get her home. About a week and a half ago i developed a really bad pain /discomfort in my right side at work right before cut off time. By the time i was set to leave it was bad getting worse . I got on the bike and headed towards the house for my 40 mile commute through south Atlanta and home. By about halfway home i was riding almost doubled over and just praying for traffic to keep the wheels spinning so i could get finish this ride from he**.
Comical in retrospect, got 3 miles from the house on a little back road 2 lane and the Nausea / heat / stress or whatever made it inevitable that i was going to hurl... no turn in or place to pull over .. was running about 50 so all i could do was roll off the throttle and turn my head / push my helmet up and let her go . i have come to find out that vomiting at 50 mph on a motorcycle is a definite skill set that i do not want to practice further. I made every attempt to make it look cool, but i am fairly certain i did not pull that off
Got home and was forced to go to the ER by the wife .. turned out to be a 4mm kidney stone .. never had one before. Don't ever want one again. Broke my streak of no doctor visits in the last decade.
Cannot imagine how bad that elbow and whole left side must have been throbbing while you were riding it out . Please get better soon .. like others i will be logging some extra miles to take up the slack!!!
