Gambrill Night Ride

So, first ride in 2 weeks and its up in Gambrill at night. I was worried about the knee since it was aching all day w/o any riding. Luckily, the weather was gorgeous being about 60 degrees at 8PM in late November in the mountains. We went about an hour and 45 minutes. I also tried a new ITB brace for the knee that puts pressure on the tendon to keep it from being bothered. Got to say that an hour or so in the ride I guess it was working because I didn't feel any issues. After that I really got to enjoy the rockiness that is Gambrill. Also did the red trail that I've never done before. What a great ride!

On Friday I plan on hitting the watershed for a longer ride to see if the brace really worked. That and stretching 3-6 times a day and hopefully the problem will start working out. Fingers crossed (all of them).
