Good week for a bicyclist. Weather for the most part was acceptable for outdoor riding. I am still in the testing the knee mood. Aside from my normal basement on the trainer routine, I rode outside on two occasions. My first was a 40 miler to the east side of Bloomington. Because of traffic diverted from the interstate, my usual route along 150 was a bit more crowded than normal. But, thank goodness, there were no close calls or obscenities directed at me. After arriving at my destination, I felt I could have finished in LeRoy, 15 miles for a total of 55 miles. I decided to not overdue it. The knee was feeling pretty good so why push it? The following day I tacked on another 35 miler so I rode 75 miles last week. All in all a good week for bicycling but it appears the weather for the next week is not favorable. The knee continues to improve but is not 100%. Just a reminder, this week begins the eleventh year since my cross country ride. Amazing. I still keep in touch with many of my fellow riders from that adventure. Razed at his ability to accomplish that ride at that age. Stay tuned.
