Had some maintenance and adjustments to make on the road bike yesterday so I thought I would do them while on the trainer and then go out to the MUP and ride some more. Got in about 8 miles worth of riding on the trainer when the backside of my left knee started giving me problems. The same thing happened last week but it went away with a days rest and some ibuprofen. I guess it's going to be a trip to the doctor's office to rule out ITBS.

Hope its not ITBS, John, that'd suck big time.

Best of luck.

Got in 23 miles yesterday for commuting, going to try to shoot for 35-38 today.

Yes I agree with you knew leaf. I just bought a trainer for that bad day. I too will bundle up a ride. I cut my distance back in the winter the time change always kills me because of work. That 1 hr I lose just kills me. More gym time on the way

Thanks Knee! That definitely would suck big time, especially since the temps are getting back to the low 80's and the winds have gone back to normal.

17+ today. The one and only advantage of working nights is I am not dreading the reduced daylight hours next week.

501.2 and it was a struggle to get those last 40 miles.

I am now shooting to ride 650 miles combined for November and December. If sucsessful that will give me 5000 on the year. My wife may shoot me before I get there but I am trying.

I know you can do it. You are going to find that it's fun to chase a goal. Good luck.
