I was able to get out for an easy ride on Thursday. I decided to test my leg on the Marine Drive route which is mostly flat but has a few short hills. My leg was far from pain free. Before, I had pain when putting hard load on my right pedal - usually going up hill - but while I was in the saddle. When I got out of the saddle, the pedal strokes were pain free. On this ride, however, I was getting a little more pain when I got out of the saddle. I think it might have something to do with my foot angle. I find it easier to pull my knee out a little when I am in the saddle. This position takes load off my IT band and puts it into the quadriceps. When I get out of the saddle, I think my knee pull inward.
Before this ride, I tried to adjust the angle of my shoe cleat but I have had them for so long, I was not able to loosen them without stripping the bolt. I have decided that I am going to invest in better pedals and shoes and start from scratch.
The details of my ride:
Distance: 26.78 km
Time: 1:03:51
Average Speed: 25.2 km/h
