The knee is feeling rather good. As a test, I did a couple one legged deep knee bends with only the very slightest sensations. I'm racing tomorrow.
Since it is a rest day, not that I haven't had plenty of them lately, I thought I'd post a couple pictures from this morning.
It was a pretty sunrise this morning.

News Item of the Day: LISSONE, Italy (AP) -- Alessandro Petacchi beat Erik Zabel and Paolo Bettini in a group sprint Monday to win the 15th stage of the Giro d'Italia, his third victory in this year's event. Petacchi, of the Fassa Bortolo team, took the lead 200 meters from the finish line, then fought off a late spurt by Zabel, the German veteran sprinter of T-Mobile. Olympic champion Bettini took third place.
Paolo Savoldelli, who finished in the main group, retained the overall leader's pink jersey -- 25 seconds ahead of fellow Italian Danilo Di Luca. Two-time Giro winner Gilberto Simoni holds the third spot overall, 1:48 back.
Petacchi, Italy's top sprinter, set a postwar record of nine stage wins in last year's Giro.
Monday's stage was shortened by about 31 miles because a mountainous part of the race was hit by heavy rain, and organizers deemed a downhill section too dangerous.
Viewpoint: I can't believe that Basso is still racing. He wants a stage win but at this point he'd be better off recovering for the Tour in July.
