my knees, a freeze, and poppin' wheelies

I put some Ultegra pedals on my CX bike for trainer use. Immediately my lateral right knee started freaking out. Brought the seat up 5mm and my knee really started tweaking. Dropped it back down and continued my workout. Saturday my knee felt sore, so I took the day off the bike. I'm going to take a look at the cleats today (Sunday) and perhaps reconsider the saddle fore-aft. Dang.

Riding outside when the temperature is below 30 degrees isn't an option for me; While living in the Mpls/StP. I developed some nice frostbite damage in my hands. I miss riding outside. Even just the commute to work would be nice, but numb hands and shooting pain after 15 minutes in the cold is a poor choice.


There's a nice new challenge at the shop: whoever commutes by bike the highest percentage of days worked between March 1st and September 30th gets $500 in store credit. I know Geo is the master of that, but I think I could give him a run for his money, as it were. I think it's time to pop a wheelie.

Oh, did I mention I now own a GF Rig?
