Thanks everyone for the support. I will definitely take it easy today I am kinda sore but not really as bad as I thought I would be. I think getting a bit of cycling in today will loosen me up a bit.
Maybe I should have specified a bit. My stock Trek 7100, with its stock saddle/suspension fork wasnt designed to go that far. Or maybe it was the engine, either way I am sure there are hybrids out there that would work very well (i.e. the FX series that I can only drool over but not afford).
I did have a slight bit of knee pain last night, nothing really "painful" just kind of annoying. And it was gone by this morning. should that be expected given how far I went yesterday? Or is there something I should be adjusting. Or maybe I just mashed it to hard sprinting from the dog? I have never noticed the pain before on my 5,12, 25 mile rides, I usually get at least 12 miles a day in.
I did a 102 mile week last week, with a goal of 150 miles this week, so far I am sitting at 75 for monday and tuesday, probably an easy slow relaxing 12 today.
Thanks for reading and any advice!
