Just got my check up back from the sports dr. My knee is stronger and I can keep up the biking!

My story, short version.....I was up to 330 and my right knee felt like hell everytime I bent it. I started strength training (squats) and did biking for cardio. Dr said the muscles are stronger now and they to keep on with my routine.

So, I can up up my rides to four a week and drop all leg exercises except for deadlifts and squats!

I had back trouble from mid summer last year untill this spring when I started riding again. If I miss riding more than a couple days I can feel it in my back so I make it a point to ride 7-8 miles a day. It is great when things stop hurting

I had re-occuring knee and back pain before I started riding. I haven't had any since! Ride on.
