Work, sickness, & back problems

I haven't been able to post much here lately because I haven't really been able to ride. I was up in Atlanta for work most of May & I was on night shift. It's hard to get used to sleeping during the daylight when you're not used to it. I would only get about 4 hours of sleep after work, then doze off & on until time to leave for work. On my time off, the hotel I was staying at really didn't have very many safe roads to ride on. I've ridden on roads with traffic lots of times, but the drivers in Atlanta are some of the rudest drivers I've ever met. They're just as rude when I'm in my car as when riding my bike. Needless to say I wasn't able to get much riding done up there. Once I got back home, I came down with some sort of bug & was extremely tired & congested most of the time. I took the first week back home off the bike just to recover. I think I caught the bug was because I was so worn down by lack of sleep up in Atlanta. Once I recovered from the bug I started back on the bike, but now I'm having problems with my back being very sore. I just can't seem to win for losing here lately & I'm getting frustrated with not being able to do much in the way of any kind of training. I'm hoping this coming week will be much better for my training. I guess I'm going to have to just suck it up & deal with my back for the time being. I'm going to try some stretching routines before & after my rides to see if that might have any kind of help getting my back to quit bothering me. That's all I have to say for now, come back & see what happens in my adventures on my bike.
