  | I rode the Trek today for the first time in ages.  I rode to Cleveland Park then started up the Laurens Road Bypass hill and over to Sliding Rock Park where I got on the Swamp Rabbit Trail.  I stopped to look at the repairs behind the apartment complex where the river was working its way under the trail.  It's been closed for a couple of months.  It looks good and I hope that the work does its job.  I rode back to Cleveland Park and worked my way by the USPS and across the Hampton Avenue Bridge.  I took Old Buncombe Road to the Lakeview spur and back to the Swamp Rabbit Trail. 
 I stayed on the trail except when I took my long loop around Furman.  Before I made it to Furman I met Steve Y riding with who I think was Tom.  They were bundled up like Eskimos! I turned around across from Tandem Creperies and stopped at the TReeHouse.  I gave Ragan a hug and talked to Rachel.  I waved to Gene and Kristen came out to say Hello.  I had a BLT with a fruit cup and bought a mulberry cookie to take home to Cissi.
 
 Somewhere along the way I pulled or strained something in the back inside of my left knee.  I think that I strained it while climbing the Laurens Road Bypass hill and aggravated it climbing the hill on the backside of Furman.
 
 I stopped at Washington Street behind the Cafe as there was a guy with a flat.  I talked to him for a while then left him to finish up.  Then I stopped at the Commons and had a small cafe au lait from Methodical Coffee.  Then I rode my regular route home.
