  • A slightly thinking aloud post. So I rode 60 ish miles London to Brighton yesterday. Prior to this only a couple of shorter rides 10-20 miles. The front of my knees were pretty sore yesterday, today they can best be described as delicate, not painful but I'm aware of them.
    I'm going to try do 10-20 miles Wednesday if they feel ok. Then 30-40 Saturday, in an attempt to build some more strength.
    At the moment I feel its a load issue over the saddle position. My reasoning, I've spent some time trying to position it and if anything I feel its a little set back which from reading, bring it forward won't help frontal knee pain.
    So thinking I was just a bit over enthusiastic!?

  • Rest them properly. Don't ride on painful knees.

    Front of knee is usually too low saddle height but don't adjust anything until you give it another go. You could also just be doing too much or pushing too high a gear. So, rest and try again and take note of any pain.
