Where the bike rats at?

[Darius]

I was way into biking last year and was doing 14 miles a day with a 25-50 mile ride on the weekends... And then my knee started popping whenever I rode and I had to switch to running in my five fingers. Meanwhile, my 66 year old grandpa can ride for a 100 miles and rode over 4000 miles last year...I'm 16 and he can ride twice as far as I can (-_-)

No but i can keep rhythm with no metronome, and am fairly good at keeping time without a clock. However metronomes and time are in somewhat different categories as far as purpose is concerned o.o

Damn my literalness sometimes

That's crazy man. I do 16 a day three or four days a week. Im going to train this summer and do the Festive 500 this year.

Man that event sounds like fun. Hmm now want to start riding again and get back up to speed. Anyone know what might cause the knee to pop? (Similar to cracking your knuckles but ten times as painful)

I would get it checked out by a doctor, who would possibly recommend a physiotherapist

I concur. You're young, and its worth spending the time and money getting it checked out right now instead of ignoring it and having more serious problems later on in life.

I've had knee problems ever since I was 18 (im 25 now, and I've dislocated it four times over the years,) and the doctor gave me exercises to do whenever it acts up.

Hmm..I think you guys are right about going to the doc to get some information about it. Thanks for the feedback.

The longest ride I ever did was only 15miles but it was in Italy so I call that a big win no matter what

[MarduArrow]

I don't know my longest but I know my fastest (on a straight, level road, no tailwind) was 48.8km/h

Edit: translates to about 30.3 mph

It's not very far, but I know I've ridden around Makinac Island on the norther tip of Michigan probably 3 or 4 times. It's only like 12 miles though.  I think.  Maybe it's less.  Or is it more?  Either way, it's no italy!

I really want to get into mountain biking
