Aha....beautiful Sunday here in central Illinois. With the temperature over 60 degrees it made for a great day to take a bike ride around Tazewell County. After church and some carbo loading at Busy Corner in Goodfield I'm ready to trek thirty miles. On the drive from Goodfield I noticed the direction and actions of several flags that dot my usual routes in the area. Much to my disappointment and chagrin, the flags looked like the flags planted on the moon....straight and rigid. When I arrived home I checked the weather channel and discovered the wind was from the south at 15-20 mph gusting to 30 mph. As most of my readers know, I have biked in those conditions and one thing I can say is that it takes the fun out of biking and makes it work. I'm retired, I don't work. And, I do not want to put undue stress my new knee. So, Mr. Wimp reared his ugly head and I resorted to biking on my trainer in the basement watching Cash Cab. But, it looks like next week the temperature will be in the fifties most days. My knee is getting better each day so I'm looking forward to getting back to my distances prior to the TKR. Conditioning will be the next goal so I ready to get after it. More later.
