Today's Ride

I went for an early morning ride today. I was hoping to get in an hour and a half but I left a little later than I wanted to so I cut it down to an hour. It was not an easy ride. I tried a new route heading out toward Deep Cove along Dollarton Highway. It was going well until I got to Mount Seymour Parkway. I decided to go that way back but there is a big hill leading up from Dollarton. I had to get out of the saddle putting a lot of weight on my right knee. I got quite a shock of pain which recurred a few times during the last half of the ride. I found it a little discouraging given how well the rehab is going but it is clear that I need to avoid tough hills for a while and try to stay in the saddle.
