Knee

It was a beautiful weekend here, so after a week of no knee problems biking to work, I struck out to ride 160 km on Saturday morning. I got to Orleans (30 km away) and my knee started hurting. I turned around and by the time I got home I was in so much pain I was riding with one leg and walking sections. This is not good.

I visited the doctor last night. He thinks I strained a tendon. Stay off of it. Take a bunch of anti-anflamatories, and I might still be ablke to ride in a couple weeks. Unfortunately I lose the training time between now and then, but such is life. I hope everything works out.

My plan now is to ride 3 days to Bromont, Quebec. See how the knee is doing by the time I get there. If it is good, I continue to Halifax. If I have trouble, I can probably get a ride back to Ottawa with a friend in his farm truck. Argh. The weather is finally beautifully sunny and warm, and I cannot ride.
