Next week my plan is to start riding every day. I have a couple of 17 hour work days over the weekend (and also over the last few days) so the bike has been idle. But the plan will commence soon. I have only been able to take my new bike out once so far for 5 miles, which is about my comfort limit at this point before wrists and sit bones start screaming at me.
