I"M GOING THRU WITHDRAWAL
I've been babying the knee and working to get some official info about a solution. I really don't want a chronic problem. Haven't ridden since tuesday and I'm going nuts. I was fantasizing about riding up to OR and doing the BBC ride, but it's just a dumb idea. I'll ride up to Mt. Wash Starbucks in the morning to suss out the knee and to be sure no one thinks my ride is still on.
I'll be back on the bike soon. Enjoy the weather tomorrow.
BTW the new bike is back from powder coating. In the next couple weeks I'll head down to NC to build it up and bring it back. Psyched.
Sorry, dude, but I know from experience... knee problems can last for an entire season if you try to ride through it--well, my problem was
running through knee problems, which is how I wound up on a bike. It was the end of my "career" as a marathon (42k) runner. Take care of those knees.
I was thinking about riding up to OR to meet Janet G, then ride with her up to 5th District Elementary, but there will be too many hammerheads in this ride--I need to conserve energy. The legs are feeling a little worn, too, after pushing against the wind, yesterday, and it's going to be relatively
hot out--my nemesis. It seems the older I get, the more prone to cramping I've gotten--sux.
