Wind, Rain & Knees: 260 Kilometers

There are a few more on our website.

I don't know what exactly I did to my knee in September. It only really bothers me when I ride. It feels like the ligaments or tendons or whatever just tighten up. It's always stiff when I get up in the morning. Occasionally I feel it when I walk up stairs. I have my regular doctor's appointment in a couple of weeks. But I can just imagine what she's going to say, - so don't ride your bike so much. Maybe I'll be wrong. I also can't think what can be done for it. Stretching helps, but I'm already doing that.

I don't understand.

I don't understand.

My knee bothers me when I ride. I suspect my doc will say it's overuse because I ride so much.

Wow - that GGBridge photo is amazing. (Seriously how did you get ABOVE everything??? You should see our photos from the tower tour.) As is the ride report.

I suggest perhaps a really good bike fit to make sure everything is set up right. It really helped me - til the whole broken bone business. Oh - I well recall the rollers and the wind in my 300k last year. You made me re-read the report out of sentimentality - or something.

Hey V,

I was thinking and am wondering if you might be able to get a sports massage on the leg/knee that bothers you? I've no idea how these things work up there in SF but thought i might throw the idea out.

Great accomplishment! Sorry about your knee and the weather. I wonder if you could have a Baker's cyst, since it bothers you behind your knee?
