Thanks everyone for your support !
The knee's doing well, I was aware of it's existence going up Diablo but it never actually hurt. I kept my gears as low as possible and tried not to put much stress on the knee - that's why it took me so long to reach the summit, yeah, thats the ticket
And in general I'm trying to 'round out' my pedal strokes, my pedalling technique is not all that great so this was a good wake-up call.
I'm still on the fence whether I'll do the 50 mile or the 75 mile ride for the Top Hat on Saturday - the 75 looks mighty hilly ... yeah, in theory I suppose I could do it, but I'm such a wuss, I really don't enjoy suffering

Oh, come do the 75! Group misery is so much fun! Maybe we should bring a team bottle of Vitamin I.

OK, we'll send you and "Lizardbreath" out first. Maybe you can clear the course out for us. It's so much more fun without obstacles. Originally Posted by snapdragen

"Lizardbreath" will NOT be doing the 75... Nope. No way. I haven't been on my road bike since.... The Cinderella. I've been mountain biking ALOT, so I'm hoping that I'll be fine with the 50...
I thought of one more snot rocket tip.... Never (and I mean NEVER) launch them in spin class!!

Good to know. I'll keep it in mind. How about if it is in my living room and the target is hubby? Is it OK if it keeps him from winning the dueling trainer contest? Originally Posted by Adventure Girl
