Making strides

It's very late and I must get up early for a big day tomorrow. Because of my knee and maybe also the scale of the enterprise, I'm behind schedule.

I won’t be able to make it to Le Chatelard, where my friend will be waiting for the big mountains to come. The good news is that my knees are getting better by the hour. These tape bands have helped hugely. Still very slow on the descents, but fine on the ascents. So I’m much more hopeful now than yesterday, when I was seriously worried. But my baby speed means I’m slow. So tomorrow I’ll see if I can go faster. In any case, it looks to be high and challenging–and spectacular!
