Employing an abundance of caution, I had not ridden outside (except for the laps I did in our condo complex on Monday) since last weekend's heavy snowfall. (They say we got a little over 9 inches here in Ann Arbor, but much of that fell Saturday night after we were asleep.) But I allowed myself to be lured outside by today's gorgeous weather (and the fact that the walks and trail were quite clear now, as shown in the picture below, looking south along the sidewalk from a ways south of Oak Valley Drive).
I hated to waste the glorious weather—who knows? perhaps it will be one of our last nice riding days of 2015—and wanted to do at least two round trips. But after I reached the park and turned back for home, I felt a twinge of pain in my right knee. I was tempted to 'tough it out' and keep going anyway, but was afraid that perhaps such a strategy might worsen it in the long term. So I settled for a single (58-minute) round trip, and am hoping also to do a good ride tomorrow morning to make room for some turkey.
