Hi folks, I’ve been off my bikes since last October due to knee pain.
I’ve dealt with knee pain issues for the past few years , but nothing like this .
I think the increased pain was a side effect from some meds I’ve been taking for stomach issues.
two weeks ago I cut back from the prescription strength to OTC strength and the pain has gotten better .
A week ago I started slowly trying to ride again . First only short mile long rides , then two and today I rode for 3.4 miles .
I’ve ridden fifteen miles total so far this month .
I hope to get back to riding 100 miles per month .
The knees actually feel better today than they did before I started back riding .
my goal is 100 , but if I can get 50+ this month I’ll be happy and go for the 100 next month . March goal 50+

Got out there as soon as the temperature hit 60 and was able to get in a three mile sprint before the rain rolled in , to keep my daily streak going .
The pollen was a thick cloud blowing around in the wind.
I’ve been sneezing since I finished my ride .

3/2: 33.59 miles. Went down in a minor low speed, “where did that gravel come from?!” and “Is my bike okay?” moment. Road rash.
3/4: 14.03
3/6: 26.29
3/11: 27.3
3/12: 12.02. Road rash getting better. Itchy.
3/13: 13.29
3/15: 12 - indoor spin
3/16: 40 - club ride/workout. Lots of hills. One ridiculous downhill run at 40mph.
3/18: 15.12
3/20: 21.41
3/21: 11.36
3/23: 64.22 - 100km event ride. Lots of hills. One pinch flat from hitting a rock on a descent.
MTD: 290.63

Sigh. Couple of weeks ago we were in the 50's. Now back in the 30's. Hopefully will be warming up later this week, getting tired of the cold rides.
