Nice warm, sunny afternoon. I took the Boardman out, for the first time in a little over 10 weeks. Thought there might be a few puddles after a bit of rain recently, but there weren’t.
Interestingly, my left knee hurt a bit the whole way round, but the right one was fine. The right one has always been the troublesome one since I injured them. Before I set off on Tuesday I taped it up, but I didn’t bother with the left one.
I’ve never been convinced of the efficacy of using tape, but that’s a bit of evidence that it does possibly work. I’ve very rarely used it and I’m still on the same roll my physio gave me, which is black. I don’t mind using it under tights but it looks weird on a bare leg. I think I’ll look for some beige tape on Amazon.
I did a pretty run-of-the-mill Twycrosser. Quite enjoyable apart from an annoying headwind from the east, which blighted the stretch between Ratcliffe and Sibson in particular.
The knee didn’t get any worse over the 30.22 miles and I expect it’ll be fine in a few days. I’ll keep doing the odd 30-miler, anyway. I’m convinced that low intensity / moderate cycling does more good than harm.

308 this month, I still want to do another 300 or so before July if I can.
