Forgot to post Thursday (the 19th), but rode 6 miles that day, and then about 7 today. My knees are feeling much better. The magazines say that knee strength is really determined by other areas, like quads, hamstrings, and hips, and I believe that to be true. My upper legs and hips have been getting good workouts, and my knees are feeling better. Nothing like riding a bike uphill against the wind while watching out for traffic to get you going on a Saturday morning.
Almost went for a run today, but decided to do one more day of biking to keep building strength in the upper legs. I can tell how my knees are doing by going up and down the stairs here at home, and they're not as tender as they were a week ago. Hooray for wheels!
