So I just went out and bought a CAAD 8 a week ago and plan on using it to commute back and forth to work. I haven't really ridden a bike in probably 15 years and this thing is a blast. I'm in the Marine Corps and in decent shape, but I think I jumped in a little to quick the other day. I decided to make the 28 mile one way trip to work the other day and man was that pretty hard. I'm stationed in Okinawa and the hills destroyed me. 2 1/2 hours later I finally made it to work sore and numb from the waist down. I work out regularly and I've never felt soreness like this before. I'm not even this sore after squat day in the gym. Well I figured I would share that story since my wife seems to think I'm completely crazy but hilarious at the same time.
