The last couple of weeks January was a busy time with lots of non-biking goodness. I had been getting in some rides but they have been pretty utilitarian in nature. Such was the case on February 4th when I got in spin at Lake Hodges. I started out on the north side near at the storage facility staging area and took on the north side of the lake.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nI took the north side all the way out to the dam and back. I was feeling really strong and keeping up a good pace (by my standards anyway).<\/p>\n

\nWhen I got back to the bridge I cut over to he south side of the lake and started the working my way through the trails there. I was still feeling great.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0While doing a bit of out of the saddle work to press up a short rise I felt a sharp twinge in my right knee followed by a sharp pain as I neared the top of the pedal stroke.\u00a0 \u00a0 Even in my granny gear just getting through the range of motion at the top of the pedal stroke was quite painful.\u00a0 \u00a0 I had to cut the out rest of my intended route and go home.<\/p>\n

Just walking around was a only slight uncomfortable but stairs and getting the knee bent beyond 45 degrees was painful.<\/p>\n

So I have resigned to just walking and hiking to keep active.\u00a0 The dogs are pretty happy about this they are getting some longer adventures in beyond just the usual walking circuits.<\/p>\n

It has been three weeks since I hurt the knee and it has only slightly gotten better.\u00a0 \u00a0I have a doctors appointment in a couple of weeks when I get back from a work trip to have it assessed.<\/p>\n
