Ride home last night hurt. This is why I only do it once a week right now. 85 miles in a day, with tons of climbing, kicks my butt. It's like I never get a chance to recover during the ride. As soon as I cruise down one hill, the next one is staring at me. I think I need to pack lighter. Right now, I have ~20lbs of gear. But heck, I don't want to be stuck in the dark without proper tools and such. And right now I'm in the dark all the way - both ways.


This is one leg of my commute. From work to home. (notice the biggest climb peaks over the image.) God help me. I want to do this twice a week.

Sincerely,
Wimpy Boy
