Sorry to say that I'd not recommend long mileage/big distance rides at this stage, as you describe the pain as sending you thru the roof. It's easy to continually re-injure and aggravate tendonitis without full recovery.

However, that is not to say that you can't ride EASY in small gears (no big chain ring period!) to keep healthy. Active recovery on the bike has to do with increasing the knee open angle (less knee flexion), and reducing the shear force on the joint (easier gears, higher rpms)
Right, I'm gonna bring my bike in and have everything rechecked.
The doc said not to ride for awhile and go to PT (which I start on Tuesday) so I'm sure they'll give me all the exercises to do.
I'm sure once I start to feel better I can start doing the real easy stuff.
I just feel down right now not able to ride and of course having the constant discomfort.
