My
right knee hurts like hell. I had the blue brace on it yesterday and
the white today. Neither seemed to produce any worthwhile effect. In
the afternoon I found that standing on the pedals helped a bit as my
knee is almost locked by the time any pressure goes on it. Despite
the problems with the joint itself I think that most of the pain
comes from the tendon holding the knee cap in place. This is the
first time I thought, "I might not make it."
Apart
from my knee I feel great. My legs and butt are fine. There's a
little numbness in both hands after yesterday's 100 mile ride but
it's not bad and should fade over the next few days.
We
have to be careful with our food now that we're in The Shield.
Careful with our camping places too. This morning we awoke to find a
fox eating our breakfast eggs. Ten in all. There was also a live-bear
trap about 100 metres away, behind the wash house.
We
stopped in Kenora for lunch. The length of the trip seems to have
become a real thing for Doug now. He said, "I can't believe
we're in Kenora, Ontario. We've riden our bikes from Vancouver to
Kenora, Ontario." I know he was happy to be away from the
Prairies.
We
took the room at
the motel since
there was light rain in Kenora and it looked like more by the time we
got here, though rain hasn't really come.
We
had to fetch a TV from another room since ours wasn't working
properly. We cooked supper on our propane stove in our "No
Smoking" room.
Dog
fights at the door.
