Last week I've started to get a slight pain / ache in my left knee. It's just under the knee cap and on the left front side of the knee.
I've started to do more and longer rides before DD to prepare myself, so I have a feeling it can be just over trained? The pain isn't too bad, it's fine to ride and walk, but it aches and I don't want to get it worse and ruin my DD.
I've been riding fixed for 3-4 years, never had any issues at all. Gearing is 48/19 so shouldn't be too high at all. Also had a bike fit at Bike Whisperer so that should be allright too. Will ask them about it too when they're back from holidays.
My plan was to ride 60 miles on saturday, on a geared bike i just got with time atacs that i just got too, been riding with double straps so far. Then another 60 miles in two weeks time, with a rest weekend in between, perhaps do a 30 miler though.
Would you suggest? Skip the long ride this weekend, or give it a go on gears and with time atacs, perhaps that helps? Or get off the bike for a week and then do two 60 milers two weekends in a row before DD?
