feels like tendon swollen/discomfort inside of knee while in saddle.

pain at top of stroke, while standing/out of saddle for 10-15 degrees, discomfort then under knee cap. An annoyance.

no pain standing, walking around.

the pain diminishes after 30-40 minutes of riding.

so just spinning around for another couple of weeks, waiting. I use speedplays with full float. no bike changes. A little intensity, kicked in a couple weeks ago. sux

anyone go through this, and come out the other side? I am betting on time, jra rides now
 
Is it cold where you are at? About 6 years ago I had something like that, but I realized it was because I was riding in the cold through winter on the MTB, and probably at a lower cadence than I normally ride. Coming out of winter through May I was getting ready for a century and was trying to shake the pain at the same time. So I did what you were doing, just spinning easy, not doing any power work. I was not 100% the day before the ride, but was fine by starting off easy to warm up. Good luck on your recovery.
