I rode about 20 miles today until I had a slow leak in my rear tube and my knee was acting up. Dom got in the van later due to a similar pain in his medial patella. I have been reading up on the injury and have bean slowly fiddling with my cleats to find a better positioning for my right leg. I am pretty sure the pain is due to a slight misalignment that has painfuly manifested itself after 10 straight days of long distance riding.
I am certainly bummed to be in the van today–especiallly with the beautiful weather and flat terrain. I picked up a knee brace today along with some tiger balm and some pain relievers so I can get back in the saddle (pun intended) tomorrow.

Not the knee again! This whole ride is RIDICULOUS- I cant believe how much you are riding every day consecutively. My how you have blossomed-I remember when you were the new starry-eyed kid at the bike collective. Now youre riding centuries! Do they broadcast the Tour de France in the medical van?
