@WestemeyerSusan @CyclingEve I gotta go ride my bike! Cheers!

@CyclingEve @DStan58 I know my brother has said they were expensive but worth it.

Got down on the floor to play with Anton. Getting down was fine, getting up nearly impossible. Son tried to help but my knee screamed in pain. Finally scooched to the sofa and kind of wiggled my way up to the seat. Ugh.

@WestemeyerSusan @CyclingEve get them via a true physician. They'll site them in your knee via ultrasound. A friend of Cath's had them done@ a chiropractor w/o ultrasound. said they were incredibly painful. makes sense, he was just poking around in there. They paid 5X what I did, said they didn't help.

@CyclingEve @WestemeyerSusan Ah, here in the US, they're not covered, either. I get mine from my orthopedic surgeon. I believe I pay around 400 for an injection in each knee.

@DStan58 @WestemeyerSusan Yes, they are available. They are not paid by the health insurance, though: ndr.de/ratgeber/gesun…

@WestemeyerSusan They are. Here's a provider I just googled. ecom-muenchen.de/en/prp-therapy/

@DStan58 Those shots helped by brother for several years. Don't know if they are available here in GErmany.

@WestemeyerSusan Well, that also tell you how absolutely fucked up is the mind of Rohan Dennis. Needs to be in a psych ward in a prison before he kills again.

Gerrie Knetemann, who sadly died in 2004 at the age of 53, was incredibly popular. He was a member of the legendary TI-Raleigh team, where many say he was the glue holding the team together, smoothing disputes and helping run things on the road. He was kind to young riders, helping with advice, even for riders outside his team. Here’s a memory from one of them: In 1983 Knetemann won the Tour of the Mediterranean for the third time. He sealed victory by winning the final stage, a 24-kilometre time trial, in which Allan Peiper finished 6th. He was a new pro for Peugeot-Shell. Later that year Peiper found himself riding alongside Knetemann during a quiet spell of a race, and Knetemann complimented Peiper on his time trial ability. He gave the young Australian advice on how to improve, telling Peiper that time trials could be his big strength going forward. He never forgot that conversation. “Kneet told me to ride every time trial, even if I was way down the classification or tired like I was riding for victory. He said if I did that, I wouldn’t make mistakes when I was riding for the win. “He told me how to prepare for a prologue, how to plan my day, how to ride the circuit, plan my gear changes and lines through the corners. I did everything he said, and in the next two years I won 6 prologue time trials,” Peiper says. Gerrie Knetemann was fun-loving, friendly, willing to help, a model professional, but like all professionals he was ruthless when he had to be. Here’s what a long-time team-mate, Henk Lubberding says about that side of him: “Kneet could turn it on if there was a race he absolutely wanted to win. When that happened, he could ride through everything and everybody, and he was often not pleasant, but afterwards he was nice happy Kneet again.” You can read more about Knettemann, Lubberding and all the team’s stars in our lavishly illustrated book Cycling Legends 02 TI-Raleigh.

As the kids say, let these dads cook!

@DougRussell Several days. at least. Do the math. 175,000 homes, just for starters. if it is an extra 30 sec, that's around 1,500 man-hours. You're being absurd.

Might get roasted for this, but honest question: How much longer would it take for city plows to not bury the apron of driveways with snow. Took me 90 minutes to undo what the City of Waukesha did to me today. Not the driveway…just the 3 feet of apron snow plowed onto it.🙄
