I went and had my knee x-rayd and got the go ahead to start riding again. Turns out I have severe tendinitis in my right knee, the joint itself is in strong working order. My right IT band is so tight that it is pulling on my knee cap moving it out of alignment hence the poping feeling I was having. I have taken more time off the bike in past few weeks than ever before and everything is starting to feel much better. I signed up for the Sea Otter Classic race in Monterey CA on the 19th of April. This is going to be my 1st geared race ever, and a really hard one at that. This one day XC race brings out the best of the best in the country and is a grueling 38mi fast pace power course, so well see if my fitness will be up to par. For now its a blast shreding on my 1st geared bike in 6 years, it feels so fasssst. Scary fast. The snows melting and my knee's on the mend now it's time to tune everything in to race mode.
