I know this may sound minor to many of you, but I wanted to thank all of you who have posted in these forums. I am a relatively new cyclist. This is my first real season of somewhat "serious" training. I started the season very late (July). I am one year removed from my second ACL reconstruction (both knees). I had been riding once to three times per week (around an hour per session) up until about September when I stepped it up. My biggest limiter has been frequent tendonitis in my knees. My longest ride until today has only been 35 miles.
Today, I rode 63 miles - my first metric century. It was a solo ride. My stats are nothing to brag about, but nevertheless I wanted to share them with everyone.

Again, the stats are nothing great. However, this is a huge milestone for me and I just wanted to share it with you guys. Thanks again for all your tips and opinions.
