On the bike again

Route: Eltham to Kangaroo Ground return
Distance: 18km

So the bro and I hit up KG today - around 18km and not flat in any sense of the word. My knee was feeling good most of the way, until I started to push a bit harder on the way back. After icing and stretching it I'm feeling good and keen to head out again as soon as possible. Good signs I guess...

ITB vs. ATB

Oh the frustration of it all. 52 days before Bicycle Victoria's Around the Bay in a Day and I am struggling to get on the bike due to Iliotibial Band Syndrome. I visited a physiotherapist today in order to help my chances of healing the injury before the event and his assessment was; 'you have a lot of work to do'. Less than two months to go before I ride 210km around Port Phillip Bay and I can't even make it 10km without pain in my knee. Love it.

Anywho enough bitchin' and moanin'. This blog will document a challenge; a battle between my 'very weak' Iliotibial band, and one beast of a bike ride on October 19th. While the road to recovery will be long and frustrating, I have a goal and a challenge. As if riding 210km in a day wasn't enough of a challenge...

52 days to go.
