It sounds like it was just a mild strain of the quads at the insertion, but it could be a meniscus problem, or cartilage behind the kneecap or anything else. All can go from being a minor problem to something that sidelines you for some time, so get things checked if you can.
Good tips. Every time I go see a sports orthopedist I end up having surgery so I'm trying to avoid them this year.
Knee seems perfectly fine today.

Yes, last February. I'm tempted to go do it again with one of those places that hooks you up to a guru machine so that he can tell me I'm riding the wrong bike.
