A social ride out to Stockbridge with DP gave me the chance to bed in some new kit. I've been down Primera and got a 12-27 rear cassette fitted in preparation for L'Etape. The gear ratio is pretty low and should be a big help on the long ascents. The down-side is that it reduces my top speed, but really, on the mountains that won't be my primary concern.
I also made an adjustment to my cleats to try nail the problem in my right knee, by moving the foot away from the frame has more space to rotate outward. I couldn't feel much going on, but the ride was pretty short. At least it didn't make it worse.
For my training weekend, I ordered some KoolPak instant ice-packs. If riding in the mountains stresses the knee out, these babies should get me through the next day.
