My last two audax rides I've had pain on the inside of my knees. That then carried over to my next rides, with the pain starting earlier on each occasion. I've really rolled back on my mileage, trying to spin on the turbo and ride cautiously when out on the bike. I've seen some improvement, but there is still some discomfort.
I've a 600 coming up in less than 3 weeks, so in desperation I went for a bike fit. A thorough process, involving lots of measurement and some video analysis. The outcome was raising my saddle by 13mm and turning my cleats a few degrees. Apparently my feet were sitting right at the extreme of the float in the cleats and I should have been somewhere in the middle, with a bit of 'give' to each side. I need to test it, but hopefully that's me fixed and I can proceed without wrecking my knees.
