Popular Post smudge ★ Posted October 8, 2017 Popular Post Share #1 Posted October 8, 2017 I'm giving this a try. If I can do a full pedal stroke on that behemoth at PT, I should be ok on the Roubaix. Fingers crossed! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F_in Ray Of Sunshine Posted October 8, 2017 Share #5 Posted October 8, 2017 I’m really rooting for you! (That way you won’t need to ride vicariously through @airinpie‘s posts and she can shut up about biking) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkpow Posted October 8, 2017 Share #8 Posted October 8, 2017 Just let it flow naturally. If you tinkle in your shorts, that's okay. We've all done it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post smudge ★ Posted October 8, 2017 Author Popular Post Share #9 Posted October 8, 2017 I survived! It was a rough start, but then I found my groove. My first pedal stroke with my bad knee was a bad one. I wasn't ready to do it, knee wasn't warmed up...ugh. I went about a half mile and went home. I shed my jacket, and I took the 90° flexion stopper out of the brace. I still kinda pedaled with a gimp, but by then I could do a full pedal stroke. And all was well. It was slow, but it went well. Thanks for your support! 13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got home, took a shower, knocked back a couple ibuprophen, had a sub for lunch, stretched out on the couch, put an ice pack on the knee. Now that I test it out, it's pretty stiff. And a little tender. Hmm, better walk around a bit. I think. ?? Thanks for the cheer! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted October 10, 2017 Share #23 Posted October 10, 2017 Wow, first ride on a repaired knee and you went 13 miles? I would have gone two or five miles just to loosen the leg up, good job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
