How much rest?

[johnnyh]

So cycled just short of 700 miles in 7 and a half days, and felt great!

Got home, took the spd pedals off, put the keos back on, and removed the rack... Thought I had put the seat post back as was, but evidently not.
40 mile ride this morning and I have done the it band on the outside of the right knee

Got in and leg literally collapsed, wouldn't support me... Easier now, but still painful and doesn't bend easily or want to take weight.

I know rest is the answer, but anyone know if this is a 3 day thing or a 3 week?

How daft to get a buggered knee on a short 40 miles, after not a bother with 700

Maybe thje spds gave you a bit more float and less strain on the knee? Dont know the answer as to how long but hope it sorts itself out quickly for you.

Go see a Doctor. Without knowing what is going on inside the leg it would be wrong for anyone to suggest a rest period (IMHO)
