 Well, I suppose it was bound to happen. Due to the lack of flexibility with my new knee I have changed my spinning method.  As a result, I am finally getting pain on the inside of my ankle on the right side.  Hopefully, I can ride through this but if not I will just put up with it as long as I can.  Its tough getting old I suppose.  Anyway, it's been excellent weather and biking has been great. Looking forward to some distance rides but we'll see.

Trying to get my stamina back.  Off the road too long. Good weather so outside ride are the rides.  To mix it up I still alternate inside rides with outside.  Unfortunately, I tried a ride into a 20 mile wind last week.  It was a disaster. I could only manage 8-9 mph.  It took the fun out of the ride so I have to be smarter about those things.  As mentioned earlier I now ride with a front flashing white light.  It didn't do much good as a car passed another into my lane.  Wonder what they are thinking because obviously see a flashing white light.  Oh well, that's how it goes.  Can't wait to do longer that 30 milers and get my mojo back.  Looks like this years cross country group have begun.  I enjoy following them as it helps recall our adventure riding across America.Later
