stole your bike
No riding today despite the gorgeous weather. Instead I went to the yoga class my wife teaches in yoga and took a class with her which was great; I sweated more than I have in a long time...at least in those copious amounts. The stretching felt wonderful then I came home to spend the rest of the day at Home Despot to finish a bathroom repair.

We had 60 riders or so on our NYD ride today. Social pace, but 4 hours for me so I'm a bit wiped after yesterday. Saw a couple of old friends. About 10 of us skipped the Starbucks part and kept going, which probably saved a bunch of time (I don't like stopping more than necessary). It was sunny and mid 40s, so pretty nice day for this time of year.

Built up a BMC promachine today. Couldn't get the front ultegra brake to center. I think the owner cut the housng too long.
Spent from this week. Feels good though.
Cat III wunderkind realized he won Anniston last year. He thought he was 6th. The guy has the points to be a Two but wants to wait until after Athens. He rides 3-6 hours a week. Bastard.

Big Ten sure looked rough today. Time to watch a movie I think. Watched "The Exorcist" last night. Good movie. Not really scary in my opinion, but very well done and freaky.

[QUOTE=hammy56;12012114]so this is the issue...if my knee/thigh remain stationary, and I turn my lower leg too far (heel goes outward) I get a nasty pain in the back/lower part of my knee (or upper calf?). Obviously a tendon or ligament. Walking, as well as pedaling arent a problem at all. A few hrs after a ride my upper calf area might feel slightly sore. No amount of stretching feels tender or sore...QUOTE]
I have something very similar. It's taken a month off the bike to even realize it's in my calf, not the back of my knee. Seems a lot like a runner's calf "heart attack" and has been improving when treated as such (very light riding, heat, ice, compression, the stick, tiger balm).

yeah like I said, it seems like its the top of the calf...Im using tiger balm, and the stick. Light riding? Umm...
its strange, it only hurts with the twisting action. Its not even slightly sore to the touch, or when riding, nothing. just odd.

I'm bored. I just read through the Do any Pro Bikers (yes pro bikers) ride ti bikes....I liked the response that used his wife's 13 year old Serrota as an example.

I'll have to go read it.
I just finished "Shutter Island". Good, but I saw it coming somewhat early. Still very good though.
