But yeah, anonymous folks on the internet are not your best source for medical concerns.
I will agree with what you're saying. When I first started riding a five or six mile ride just seemed like a hundred miles it was hard it was tough I thought I was really making an accomplishment LOL. Now I did my first century this summer after two-and-a-half years. It's amazing how you look back at what you used to consider a really long ride and now you realize that is just a trip around the block LOL.
