An update on my new knee. Many people have inquired as to how I'm doing with my new knee. After a year of rehabbing I decided to put it to a max test today. I rode my bicycle from Washington Il. to Ottawa Il a total of 70 miles, After factoring in all the variables of favorable wind, road conditions, shoulder width and amount of traffic I actually rode.......70 miles. While in previous year that would not have been exceptional I was quite pleased that I rode close to my age. Some have wondered why not a century.  I think that will come later this fall but I felt pretty good after the 70 and felt I could have completed another 30. But for now I am pleased.  Looking for the perfect weather day for my century.  Stay tuned
