Cycle Cat:
Just stopped by the desk to grab the abstract that I forgot........senility is settling in........ and checked the thread.
------->I have a muscle imbalance around my knees, from all the years and miles of bicycling, that's causing the platella to pull to the outside. This is causing a soft tissue irritation. Exercises are helping to get stronger but the knee's been temperamental. Bicycling has been a big part of my lifestyle for so long, that if I don't ride, I get edgy and easy to aggitate, or in other words, a big pain in the ars.
While out in my journey around town this morning and musing about your knee problem (mine has been "telling" me for three days this cold front and rain was coming) I recalled a visit I had with a friend weeks ago in my front yard.
....This is what's known as a soft lead into an unplesant ending....
Well, anyway, Ray Armstrong (my friend) is the granddad of cycling great, world class, world winner on the BIG tour, Lance Armstrong.
Lance has as you probably know has developed testicular cancer, mayhaps brought on or aggraviated by his bike riding.
He is doing fine and is attempting a major league come back.
My prayers are with him and his family.
My opinion is that ANYTHING done to excess extracts a future price to be paid.
Probably should just keep my mouth shut but being elderly endows me with poetic lecture license.........heh heh
Back to the real world......
