Last week was a BIG week, it started with a 52km windy ride in Somerset on Easter Monday and culminated in a 93km ride in Surrey with the completion of my first "Sportive".
The Sportive was good, I wasn't as fast as fellow Sky Team etapers Rachel and John, or Simon, (of course!), but I wasn't too bad. I completed it in a ride time of 4 hours with none of the expected muscular aches and pains. My main problem was severe pain in my knee, which meant I had to stop frequently to stretch it out and small slopes seemed like massive mountains- not good if you really have massive mountains to climb!
I've been having knee problems for a few weeks and have been seeing a physio at work, however it is now bad enough that I am concerned I won't be able to take part in the Etape. So, I am off the bike at the moment and have an appointment to see a new sports physio at the National Sports Centre in Crystal Palace, if anyone can fix it surely they can!
I'll keep you posted, hopefully this isn't the end of my short lived cycling career...

The guys at CPSIC are really good, they've fixed me up twice before!
