Back in the Saddle.
So after a several month hiatus, I finally hopped back on my road bike.
During my time off my road bike, I was seduced by the Dark Side and was fully enjoying the evils of a 'bent. Not just any 'bent but a 'bent trike!
So as of Monday I climbed back on my roadie, and started using it to commute again. Man, I forgot how fast one can go on these things. During my time on the trike too which is twice as heavy (sans gear) as my road bike, I definately got stronger.

I must say most of the guys I saw on road bikes were really cool and made a lot of nice comments about the trike. I will also say that at a 27-28 kph average I was doing anything but picking up cans on the side of the road.

Layin' back at 17 mph on a trike, I'd be throwing the (beer) cans off as I emptied them.
