Good to be back, isn't it? My son broke his ankle about 2 months ago and I've had to drive him to school, as a result I've only ridden twice in the last 7 weeks, once on President's day (no school) and once when they had a snow day (really cruddy ride, nearly as bad as any day driving). I've ridden all this week and I couldn't believe how far downhill I've gone. I built up to my level of fitness on the bike slowly over 3 years so I didn't think much of it. But having dropped out for 2 months, man, I feel like a real slug now.
Anyway, I figure I've done my allotment of driving for about 3 or 4 years now.
