KIWI, if it makes you feel better, I damaged my knee last October racing down at Casey.
this last weekend was out season opener at Aztalan. ;) Of course, just getting back on the bike for the first time since Oct. I went out with a "I'm just going to ride, not race" attitude. Weeeeeeeeell, I was passing a slower rider on the out side, going into a deep berm. and he move into me, stood my bike up and over the berm I went :o. Didn't crash, but there went the knee again :( Oh well. As far as getting your speed back, it will come automaticlly. Once you get back on the seat and ride again a few times, you tend to forget the old injuries. (personal experience)
