Went on what felt like my first "real" ride in about six weeks. It felt so great to climb a bit but again my knee is still acting up.
Before the ride I raised my saddle and did not have much pain climbing Paris Mt. I raised it again after descending and noticed even less strain on my knee after the second adjustment. Then again, it wasn't exactly the hardest route back home. Pain seems to present itself after repeated high degree knee flexions, whether on the bike or climbing lots of stairs. I'm wondering if going to shorter cranks from the 175 I currently run would help.

Not sure what it's like over there in the Midwest, they may have some county and even state-level laws preventing OTG lifestyle.

What cranks do you have on that? I need 175, I have a set of 105 172.5. Left arm is brand new.

I have what appears to be a live stream, except that it looks animated. Plastic. I don't know what it is s, but I'll take it.

And then I find a real live stream and not only is the score different but the uniforms are too. This one appears to be Australian, judging by the ads.

"Genius" it says, even though it's sheer blind dumb luck. I was trying a new opening word. Guess the strategy eval waits for tomorrow...

I was going to brag about 3/6 every day this week so far, but you take the cake.
