I get the "you're crazy" quite a bit too; makes me feel good! I rode about 30 yesterday to a loop route I used to ride when first starting out 2 years ago. The loop is only about 5 miles long and I remember how tough it was to make it back then - quite a few hills. When I rode it yesterday, I had a huge smile plastered on my face at how easily I handled the hills and how this formerly "daunting" route was only 1/6 of my ride this day...
