I've done the same as you, thinking I was doing my body a favour, building strength and getting more exercise. It'll probably take some time for the inflammation to subside (hopefully not too long). Time to play some soccer and football with the kids.

Thanks all, for your advice. Much appreciated! It's been a great help.

Cheers....

Think the two I's.

-ICE
-Ibuprofen.

I recommend icing knees for 15 minutes after each ride. Ibuprofen after harder rides.

I too have sore knee caps at the beginning of each riding season. Where the muscles attach to the knee cap on the top and bottom of my knee cap is where I feel it. I focus on lower resistance, higherturn over.

And despite what Jim says, I ain't much of a hill climber. I'm just persistent. Willing to go really, really slow and accept lactic acidosis.
