Back Spasms

I again woke up early today and got out on my bike.  I really am enjoying the jersey and shorts.  I can't wait to get cycling shoes and clip-less pedals but will be holding off for a while on that purchase.  I like the jersey because of the fit, the zipper, and the pockets. 

Fit - With my cotton Old Navy tee I felt like I was dragging a small parachute.  With the jersey it is a much more snug fit and it stays in place.  There is no flapping in the wind or riding up in the back. 

Zipper - I like the ventilation options available with the zipper.  I generally am a few degrees warmer in any situation than the average guy.  I am rarely cold.  I like that I can open the zipper a bit creating more room at the neck and allowing for a bit more air flow when desired. 

Pockets - I have been riding for the last three weeks with nothing or very little.  With the pockets I am now able to carry my phone, a spare tube, ID, cash, food, or anything else that will fit in one of three pockets. 

I did not realize just how much I was going to like the jersey, despite the fact it has a giant SPAM sandwich on it.  I am now in the market for a second one if anyone can suggest a place/brand/style/etc. 

Now to the spasms: While on my ride today I felt my back spasm in a place that has been bothering me for a couple of days now.  It went away after a while and I kept going.  Before long it came back.  It was during the second and longer spasm that I realized it was actually my phone, which was on vibrate.  I had missed two text messages and caught the call in time to answer it.
