Took it really easy this morning; on yesterday's ride home I tweeked my left knee a little. Not sure what I did but, I think I pushed a little too hard, in too big a gear while starting from an intersection. I gently rode on it until I hit the 14th Street bridge then, I had to stop, stretch it a little bit and continued on. It hurt the rest of the way home but, after some Advil, felt better by this morning. It's still a little tender but, not too bad. I'll do the Crystal Ride on Sunday and will let my knee determine how many laps I do. I'll continue taking Advil today/tomorrow in the hopes that the pain goes away entirely, we'll see. Also, my new route takes me right past the DC water front. I told another cyclist yesterday that that is either the best smelling part of my ride or the worst. I think it'll get much worse as summer progresses and I continue to ride past all the dumpers full of seafood. I love seafood but, months of this (overwhelming) stench could turn me off to it. That would be a shame. Should be a nice ride home this afternoon.
