I took my 1979 Trek 510 with its Ishiwata 022 tubing out for a 28 mile ride today. But it's 531 day. Now I know why I felt sluggish on the ride. And I was worried that I was just out of shape.

10 miles and a 1000' of climbing on my Super course for 5/31 day! Much smaller ride than I'd have liked, but I'm hurt, and it was a lot more than nothing!
