Hi Folks! Thanks for all the kinds words, nice to talk to people who understand!

When I went home last night, I really spun 'er up! Normally, I would have grabbed a higher gear or two, but for a change, I behaved myself! Got home in good shape, and the knee was pretty good, although the thighs were burning a little...but that felt GREAT!!

This morning, I took my normal one aspirin, then set off to work with a temp of 43 degrees. (Still staying off the pain pills!) Did the same thing as last night, just spin 'er up and stay there. No real discomfort in the knee at all. When I got into town, I stopped and visited some friends, and when I left to go to the post office, I stood on the pedals a little hard, and my knee let me know that maybe I should back off a little!

So, I am not at 100% yet, but it is so much better than it was a week ago! I will continue to take it easy...'cause I love to ride!!!!
