I used to train al the time..then retired from work lived overseas and of course no bike for 3 years.
I think it is from not riding has aggreviated this..

Ostoephytic lipping is just an appearance on X-ray. Osteophytes are associated with common osteoarthritis and you can't blame it on riding or not riding. Blame it on aging!
