Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Surely you remember that.
Yes, I do recall. But I also recall wishing for earplugs during any performance that included violins.

I just noticed on Strava that a guy I follow is recording his ski runs.

6500 for the year…….. Hopefully that is not the end number.

Mo, That sounds like what it could be. I got on the bike last night immediately after taking ice off my leg which may be why the pain was worse.


Talking to another cyclist who has this, keeping knees warm is just one of the many steps.

Yes, warm is good. If it is chondromalacia, which is the most likely thing statistically, then backing off on the miles and intensity and doing the quad exercises should help. I've had it a few times when I started a running season a little too aggressively. Hurts a lot and takes a while to get better. If it doesn't, skip the ortho and go straight to sports medicine.

Ice after the ride. If you ice before, you are doing nothing but tightening things up when you should be stretching and warming. Sequence should be: warm - stretch - ride - ice/anti-inflammatory.

Yeah, but mine was in 200 fewer hours.

Then again, I'm more of a draft horse and I climb like one.

NA beer - it's the latest recovery trend.

Probably Glucosamine.

There is some evidence it might help with degenerative arthritis of the knee, but studies are conflicting. The best studies use 1500mg/day. Safe and harmless, ok to try.

Indeed. Mrs. GeneJockey likes to try to play the baboon bassoon. Nowadays, she does it in the garage, with the doors closed. Better for all concerned.

There are families who have been on welfare for generations, and know nothing else. And, as whyfi mentioned, it is beautiful country.

Oof. I keep a couple of hoodies hanging on the coat hooks and I'll toss one on whenever I'm chilly (which isn't too uncommon now that we have to heat the house). Anyway, I threw one on just now and it was *instantly* apparent that I was wearing it when I made murgh makhani (butter chicken) from scratch the other night. Smells wonderful when you cook it, not so much when it's clinging to clothing days later.
