Taking another rest day to heal up. There is still a little soreness about 6 inches above the knee when I put weight on the leg. Its not bad though. Hopefully I get through tomorrow's ride without incident.

News Item of the Day: World Cyclo-cross Champion Bart Wellens (Fidea) will not race this weekend, after his doctors advised him to rest from competition for a week. Wellens has not been at his best form this season and will use the week to recover from his efforts so far. If he is feeling good by next Tuesday, he will race in Niel. Otherwise, he will continue to take time out of competition.

Viewpoint: Very strange that a World Champ would come into the season in such poor form.
