Met my buddy for our newly renewed daily training ride before work. It's a 20 mile out and back. He said it was the first time he'd been on his bike all week and he'd be happy to take it easy, just have a mellow spin. The ******* dragged my ass up and down the trail at 21, all the while chatting about work and his kids and the book he's been reading. As I struggle to breath, most of my responses were, Uh huh. Pant, pant, uh huh.
