good weekend

Managed to get 40 miles in on the bike over the weekend, which was great...

But, while riding to protect my right leg, my left knee twinged a bit.... with classic ITB pain on the outside of the knee...

I'll try a few things, such as lowering my saddle a little (I raised it a couple of inches recently), and take a look at the cleat alignment on my shoes.. it hurt a little, but not enough to stop me riding, so not a disaster, but clearly, I need to stop this, as it could develop into a problem.

On the positive side, I fitted tri-bars (oe aero bars if you prefer) during the week (another eBay special!) and I got on really well with them. I'd read stories of people finding them very difficult, but I didn't struggle at all, and found the position really quite comfortable... they absolutely help with speed too... I reckon I was at least one MPH faster with them than without...
