Not to dishearten you, I'm still dealing with IT Band issues (2 yrs +). I feel it in the outer part of my knee, then the hip, and sometimes in the ankle. Was seeing a massage therapist, gee that was pre-Katrina, who taught me a few yoga stretches, the same ones on the web site Wahine posted. It's really important to stretch AFTER you ride. Found a yoga DVD off Terry - yoga for cyclists - that seems to get me stretched in all the right places. Meanwhile take your favorite anti-inflammatory, hot bath, and work the knots in your cramped muscles.
