RAW- race withdrawal

The knee has not cooperated- and I have withdrawn from the race as of last week. Major bummer. Need to start working to see what I can do to rehab the knee so I can ride again pain free. Stay tuned.

200 miles- but trouble

Rode 200 miles yesterday at 16.5 mph- and the legs felt great. However, the left knee did not, with much pain in the last 30 miles- just no power on the hills- and thats where it really hurt. Will go for an easy ride today (Saturday) of 15-20 and see how it feels. The goal is to ride 100 on Sunday- but thats all determined by how the knee feels.

6 weeks to go......

The Supartz injections seem to be working- was able to do a 180 miles ride last Friday , then 20 on Saturday, then another 100 on Sunday- and knee felt good during the rides- though a little stiff afterwards- which is OK.
Off to do a 200+ miler on Friday, 50 on Saturday and 100 on Sunday.....
Crew is all set and looking forward to it....
