Today I got on my old Specialized (feels like a tank compared to my Wilier) and rode maybe a half-mile. I had hoped it world go better, but I still have 13 recuperation days left, so I'm not discouraged. I had no problem spinning in a low gear, but I could tell that I wasn't ready to stand and put added pressure on my right knee. When I tried to stand, I definitely favored my left leg, putting minimal pressure on my right. Some of that was psychological, out of fear that I might cause further damage. But it's definitely weakened and a little sore.
One step (or should I say spin?) at a time. I think I'll wait until after my doctor's appointment on Wednesday before I email my supporters and let them know I'm coming back. But that's still the plan. On September 7, I will make up the South Bend to Astoria Ride that I missed, and then I will be back on schedule, at least temporarily, beginning September 8th..
