I got a nice slow 10 mile ride in this afternoon......flat and no speed, but I did it! I'm wearing my knee brace, folks, and it feels great! :commute: That is all! :D

Good news Tom. Especially good news ther was no serious damage.
I'm planning my return ride for this evening after the heat subsides a bit. I figure when you have lost 8 lbs in 6 days due to illness, the heat isn't your friend. Hopefully, no film at 11:00, lol.

I feel your pain Tom.
After a month of Pneumonia and now Water on The Knee, I will hopefully be back on the bike in about 10 days and I am sure I will be starting from scratch. What a bummer, but it beats the alternative, which is not being able to ride at all.
I have set a goal to take really good care of myself for the next month and am planning on rewarding myself with a weekend camping/Mtn. Bike trip around the first week of Oct. in your neck of the woods Nashville/Brown County, IN:ride:
Take good care of yourself.

No, actually, an Ivy Tech T Shirt and a pair of cargo shorts over the bibs. It was just a casual ride. ;) I'll be doing some hills tomorrow, since I'll also be bike commuting to classes.

Just think of Shrek and Donkey and everything will be alright.
Seriously, Tom, great to hear that you are back on the bike. Keep me posted on how that knee is doing.

I must've missed something when work got crazy! But I'm glad to hear you're back in the saddle. You're like some kinda... Inspiration Train or something.
