  1. Back on the 15th of last month I bailed out of the Wiggy 200 at roughly
    half distance due to my right knee starting to hurt. I stayed away from
    the trike for a little while afterwards to try and give my knee chance to
    recover, however on a practice 100km ride on the 27th problems reoccured
    at about 90km. Since then it's been giving a little grief just on my
    commute (which is only about 2.5km!).

    This is obviously not a Good Thing(TM)! The question is, what's causing
    it and how do I stop it?

    Now I'm riding a recumbent trike so obviously could be putting way too
    much power on too low a cadence, however I'm not aware that I'm doing
    this - whenever I think about my cadence it appears to be in the 60-80
    bracket.

    Checking the trike has revealed no obvious problems, other than a
    slightly misaligned boom which was corrected between the 15th & 26th. Am
    I doomed to having return to the world of the upwrongs?

    Let alone connected with my employer ...

    Go to a sports physio.

    For me stretching after riding has helped.
