Last night the legs felt tired again and back to my old pace (16.5 mph).
Well after having come back for a few months I could probably
better pull off at least 20 miles a day now but working the second
shift and doing what I did in my 30s just isn't as quite as fun or
easy anymore. I'm getting to where I like my kickback time before
and after work more. And riding just a dozen miles before work
seems more hassle than it's worth.
When I retire in a few years you can bet that you'll see me riding
almost daily and still doing the long weekend rides.
