Sorry Pete, but it is true. I haven't touched my bikes, except to move them out of the way in a month.
I sat on the trainer for three and a half hours one night early in January, and then again later in the month I rode outside for nearly 75 miles. I fought through intense knee pain both times and suffered mentally from the loss of the physical abilities I had before I was injured. The thought of working through this pain, which the doctor said will not go away, to get back to the level I was only to possiblly injure myself again is more then I can take.
I am not prepared to suffer through the pain required in order to get back to that level only to find myself injured again because my knee gave out or because my doctor decided to operate again, so I gave up.
