It's only been a few days since I have been back on the bike. Oh man oh man, how good it feels!! It is almost like falling in love again, seriously, to all motorists out there that would probably make no sense but I think y'all might know what I am talking about: the wind in the face, the sound the tire makes on the pavement as you round the corner, enjoying the ride home from work while the mindless motorists sit in there cars caged in, oh... I could go on and on.
I am completely amazed how quickly my body has responded to the riding. I would estimate that I am at about 80% of where I was. I have Thurs-Sunday off and plan to do about 30 miles avg those days. I think after that I will be back to where I was. I mostly notice a lack of stamina on the hills, I am in Raleigh NC, it's not too hilly, but the hills do exist.
adios amigos
