So it is feeling a lot better.....make no mistake about it.....this does not mean it is ready for a long bike ride / race. My advice to you is to not do the ride / race. Tell the lady what has happened to you. I am willing to bet she would not want you to injure yourself on her behalf. That said, if you are still hell bent on competing you might try the following:
Personal Therapy
ice, ice, SLOW warmup, SLOW warmdown
***NOTE*** You still have plenty of time to sort this out, Find a PROFESSSIONAL to wrap your leg. Ask the ride / race organizers if they are going to provide pre-event trainers. If they do not, contact a local PT school, Med school, Private trainer, or Track and Field Coach. I would not put it past any of them to donate their services for the cause.
Race Day
ice, SLOW warmup, Get wrapped, SLOW warmup, ride / race, SlOW warmdown, ice
I hope this helps and let us know how you do.
