Abandoned, due to a reoccurring knee injury. Not t Abandoned, due to a reoccurring knee injury. Not the way I wanted to end this ride. The first twinge surfaced on Monday (day 3), and made itself known much more yesterday. Too sore to ride on, and now at Blayney railway station. Disappointed, as FightMND is a cause I feel very passionate about.
