What a pain!

Knee injury hampers training progress

I have been off the bike for a week now due to a knee injury. On bank holiday Monday I feel off a bucking bronko at the local school fair and sprained my right medial collatral ligament; not good timing.

The pain and is starting to go and flexibility is retruning so I hope to get on the bike for a gentle 20-30 minute ride on this Monday and get a few visits in to the physiotherapist.

The good news is that Simon Jones (ex-Head Coach of British Cycling) who has been giving me advice and training schedules, is pleased with my level of fitness at this stage so a week off should not have a major physical impact, but mentally it is REALLY tough to not be out on the bike.
