Getting back in the saddle
I finally had a chance to go for a lengthy ride this afternoon. I forgot to bring a trip meter of any sort, but I estimated the the loop around Central Park (6.2 miles) took 26 minutes. This isn't a great time (averaging just under 15 mph), but it's not bad for my first lengthy ride in months.
My knee is still really clicky, but it rarely hurts. I happened to jog about a half-mile yesterday in Doc Marten shoes on my way to seeing West Side Story with my mom, and that felt a bit uncomfy at the time. Whlie sitting in the theater, I noticed that I didn't have the leg strength to tap along with the music. Man, I'm out of shape!
So being able to ride around the park at a decent clip was all the more of a relief, considering.
I'll have to get back to riding now that the weather has improved.
I also have an appointment with the doctor this Tuesday. Maybe I'll finally get that MRI.

Averaging 15 mph after a long break and with a bad knee? Man, I've got to be doing something wrong. I max out at around 15 and average around 8.5 on a 36 with 125s. - As an aside, please accept my belated salute for your RTL effort !
You jogged a half mile on your way to see West Side Story -with- -your- -mom- and you say you are out of shape. Well, it sounds like your mom is in GREAT shape if she kept up with you! Ask her how she does it!
