So went out today for the last proper training ride before the start of Ride for the 96 next Friday! Will go out a couple of times in the week for rides of about an hour or so in length…

Rested the knee for 5 days, and made some bike tweaks to saddle position and pedal cleats to get my knee tracking better with less lateral movement. Intended to go out yesterday for a 40km ride to ease back into…
