Steve - what part of the knee hurts?

Exterior side/behind the right knee(just below the knee itself). I was in horrible pain Friday afternoon(not weight bearing at all).

Yup, sounds like IT band or torn ligaments. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the first one, because cortisone and stretching will cure it.

I'm in it to Schwinn it.

Greg,I saw the Orthopedist on Monday(again) & he thinks the pain is a result from a torn meniscus and or IT band. I had an MRI today & will see the Ortho on Thursday to get the verdict.

I just may show up at the Pilot Point permanent to say "hey!"

The 200K Caballo de Simon RUSA Permanent will depart at
8AM sharp, on Sunday morning the 25th. The start location is at
Lantana Lodge at the west end of FM1192 about 2 miles west of Pilot
Point., at Lake Ray Roberts. To get there from the D/FW area, take
US377 north to Pilot Point. As you approach Pilot Point, take
Business 377 on your left and follow it to FM1192 in the center of
town. Turn left on FM1192 and follow it 2 miles to Lantana Lodge.

Again, I'm going to try to keep a pretty good clip, getting back by 5PM at the latest.

Paul,would you like your canopy tent & cot back? I can meet up with you pre-ride next Sunday(if that's convenient)?

Based on the forecast , I'll gladly sit this ride out. I'll be a warm-68 degree home buzzing through the Sunday Ticket NFL games, sitting on MY narrow a*%!

If I remember the elevation profile on this one correctly you're really steadily climbing until Forestburg, and it looks like your going to be heading straight into the wind. We did a similar condition ride of the route back in Early March and it took awhile, but it was very sweet to have a long tailwind run back along the top of the Lake!

my journal entry for the day

127.40, 09:11:13, 13.87, 38.80
El Caballo de Simon 204K Permanent, 179 general: brevet - solo, Bacchetta Corsa

Comments: Met Ray and Jeremy for another windy permanent. Spent the first 4 hours bucking a 20+ mph headwind. Very nice when we had it at our backs though. Pretty tough but beautiful day.
Weather Conditions: 37-53 Degrees 12-25 NNW all day pretty much, but a little lighter after 5pm.

Have Fun!
Nelson.
