My left knee is now completely tight. I stretched in the morning and walked on it, but it is aching when I bend it. To start we had a nice climb, and so I popped two Advil and road off. I tried putting a wrap on it, but that made the throb turn into shooting pain all down the front side of my shin. After about ½ hour, the pain went away. We climbed most of the day and found a nice spot around 4pm to set up camp next to a trail head fully equipped with picnic table and restroom. The temperature was 91 and the wind was light. It was perfect for riding. I was able to walk down to the gushing creek and soak my knee again. We will stealth camp and sleep out under the stars tonight, so no one will know we’re here.
