It's funny you should say that. I know I'm overdue for an extended ride when I start feeling more irritable and cranky than usual. This last weekend had its high and low points, but yesterday was primarily low with the wife and kids. The weather was SPECTACULAR and I desperately needed to get out. Due to family stuff I wasn't able to be out for long, but 90 minutes and 28 miles consisting of a healthy mix of flats, rollers, and steep hills, and the stress of the day was almost entirely gone.

Cycling is freakin' theraputic, I tell ya!
