It would be very easy -- the roads are significantly better than what I have now. So there is an outside chance I'll be in better shape than now. But it's a pretty certain bet that I won't be riding any 40+ miles RT. Plus I have friends and a river nearby so there will be other things competing for my attention.

I am glad to be off the highways in winter -- "fun" is not exactly the operative term to describe riding more than an hour each way in the cold, dark, wet, and wind while heavy traffic blows by you at 65 mph for months on end. On the other hand, the most important time to be out there is when you don't want to be. If you don't quit when you want to the most and make it through the crap, everything that follows is a gift in comparison.
