Day 19

First day back on the bike. I am really nervous. The first 10 miles were downhill, so I didn't pedal at all. Then there was a short uphill, and I had to spin until I couldn't anymore, stop, and then repeat. If I let my cadence drop, it puts more pressure on my knee. So, it seems almost counter-intuitive that when it hurts, I should try to go faster. It also helped that Bob lost a lot of weight. I sent a lot of things back, and people took my tent, mattress pas, and sleeping bad, as well as all of my group great. THANK YOU!! I didn't spend much time looking at the scenery because I was too focused on my knee. The last 2 miles I started to put a little pressure on it (ie I started using it a little), and it seemed to hold up ok.
