Yes, 2024 was not a very good year with regards to my KOMOOT Adventures. At the start of the year I had a lot of plans after a very successful Tuscany Trail Adventure in 2023. Since I was reaching the age of 60 in the year 2024, I knew bike packing and traveling more on the bike would be the route forward. Unfortunately my legs decided otherwise and I was confronted with a patella tendon and bursa inflammation in my right knee. Until this day, no idea what caused it, no changes in training, no changing in bike fittings, so completely out of the blue. Unfortunately, I've never released how long the recovery proces would be and that the only good cure is rest. At least, as we are starting the new year, I've got the green light to slowly start cycling again in combination with exercise to strengthen the knee and tendon. So with high hopes, postponed and new plans we start 2025. Happy cycling, stay safe and healthy and see you soon.
