where did my legs go?

So last night i went out, i thought i had some motivation... However after leaving the house i had no motivation, no speed, and no legs. So i figured i would just need to warm up and kept going. Well perhaps i should have stayed home, as i wasn't putting out enough watts to light up Edison's first light bulb.

I headed out to the accomac via river road, then climbed up out of there and went the back way into Wrightsville. I had intentions of going out to Millersville, but realized i couldn't spool it up to get there and back home before dark. So i figured i would head south along the river and hit some big climbs.

The problem with that is, i couldn't get a good cadence going so i was really working my quads with a slow grinding spin, which intern put to much stress on my right knee. So post getting home, i took some pain killers, and iced it.

Pretty sore today so won't be heading out.

Yesterday's Ride

Hopefully over the next couple of day's i'll get a new compact crank for the bike. This should allow me to keep a high cadence while climbing this reliving the strain on the knee. My boy Will is hooking me up. (Thanks !!)

I'll keep you posted on that progress.


Doesn't look like i'll get a 100 miles in this week, but stranger things have happened.
