First off- WELCOME THOMAS BROCK!
sounds like you've got a nice ride- I'd take my time, too.
My ride this morning, however, was a swift road ride in with lots of construction and I was running late so it was time to keep right up with the traffic.
The ride home, along the river on a bike path, which is sometimes my leisurely time, was anything but since I think I had a stiff tailwind that pushed me along at a rapid pace all the way home.
I drove to NYC last night to see a friend's show, then went to the party afterwards, then drove home- got home at 4:30am, slept a few hours then out the door this morning and now I am
beat!
