The knee has been bothering me still since the century... so I rode 13 miles both monday and tuesday without feeling much improvement. Strangely I did think it felt better after I rode. I got rained out yesterday and rode the trainer but I was determined to see how it would be today.

Great weather today but very windy. I set off and immediately felt the knee pain and I almost turned back around but I decided to play around and see what worked.

I discovered that mashing felt better (with almost no pain) than spinning So I ended up doing a strong 24 miles: averaged 19.3 on my scenic route. I was so pumped and wired afterward! I love that feeling. And oddly enough, my knee feels better this evening that it has all week.
