Hey, this is Rick calling in from the Tour Divide.  I'm calling from Helena.  Left a little bit late this morning from Lincoln and actually my knee feels a lot better!  I think the help I got from over the phone from Dr. John Dunn, Tallahassee, he gave me some tips on to relieve the pain and also I put a fresh kinesio tape on my knee and that seemed to work real well.  I was able to stand up and pedal today, so, my ass was not near as sore after today's ride.  It rained on today's final two passes today.  It rained all the way into Helena.  Jeff caught up with me on the second pass and we kind of rode in together.  So, it was another wet day.  But my spirits are good because I'm able to pedal normally now.  So, it was a good day for me.  Hopefully well have some clearer weather tomorrow.  But I want to thank everybody that has sent in replies to the blog that certainly helps my spirits that people are watching and giving me support.  I'll call in again later.

Listen to the latest call from this racer here!
