Managed to barely avoid rain while trying to figure out what my right knee really wants.

The weather's been pretty bad up here, so I was glad to finally get a chance at a proper ride, and a chance to narrow down what my legs want.

My first time out this way started the whole bike fit problem that I've been having for the past couple years, but this time finally brought me solutions.

Greenwater (2016-10-22)

Despite its name, this town is actually on the White River. It shares its name with the Greenwater River, which is a tributary of the White River.

On this ride, I finally figured out what my knees really want, and realized that I needed to lower the handlebars with the saddle once past a certain point in order to feel like I'm getting any power out.

John Wayne Pioneer Trail II (2016-09-30)

After the easy time I had with my Davidson on the Snoqualmie Valley Trail, I decided to try something a bit more involved.

This was yet another one of my rides where I shamelessly kept trying to make my knees happy. I found the right saddle height range, but fore-aft still needed work at the end.

Quimper and South Whidbey (2016-09-24)

A little ride around Puget Sound.

I spent most of this ride adjusting my saddle position, most of which involved moving it down. It kept getting better, though there's still room for improvement.
