When you have a sore knee, tendon or muscle, the Rx calls for icing. Here's a handy way to do it. Fill 3-ounce paper cups (bathroom size) 3/4 full with water and place them in the freezer. Then after a ride, take one out and use the ice end to massage the sore spot. Peel the paper away as needed to expose more ice. Continue for 10-12 minutes or until all you're holding is the soggy bottom end of the cup.
