About a month ago (while coming down off a hill after taking pictures)I fell and tore muscles in my left knee. I have been pretty much off my bicycle for he last month. I have ridden to work a couple times and took a ride last weekend but today was my first ride longer than 25 miles. The knee is ok, not good, but ok.
It really felt good to be riding.
I have been watching Lance and le Tour de France on the OLN (Outdoor Life Network). What amazing athletes those young men are.
My riding is for totally different reasons: a little exercise and relaxation. I figure as long as the pedals keep going around I'm getting some physical benefit. They don't have to go around too fast or too hard, just keep on goin'round.
