I definitely agree with this. It won't be long at all. I rode 3 months last year. Though I was able to ride 12 miles on the trail, the time it took decreased rapidly. Long before winter hit, my limiting factor was sitting on my cheap Bell saddle, nothing to do with exhaustion or the legs.

I certainly do this. I ride past a turkey farm on the trail by work. I want to ride that mile as quickly as possible, LOL. Full out sprint as fast as I can go on the gravel trail. Coming back is a bit rougher as it's slightly uphill.
