Not to be full of myself or anything... :p
Aside from 30-odd flat miles when I was in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago, I haven't done any road riding that hasn't been all about getting wherever I need/want to go since Christmas Eve last year. I picked up my new roadie (http://www.geniusbikes.com/bikes.php?module=bikes&bikes_id=9) this morning and after lunch I pointed it up the local hill. Yes! I got to the top of the pass without stopping for the first time ever and with quite a few more teeth on my smallest chainring this time too! Go me!!! And then (after stopping to stuff my lungs back inside my chest) I swung left and rode along the summit road (rollery) just to inflict a bit more leg pain on myself. All those dirty miles seem to have helped rather a lot.
The weather was pretty mint too. :cool:
