the good? I'm back on the bike after 3 loooong months off! Got to ride Sun and it was a glorious day to ride...

the bad? I rode 20 miles... and felt like I rode 20 miles... shoot, it used to take me 20 miles to warm up... also, at one point I turned my head to chat and danged near HIT the curb. Oh, that woulda hurt... and probably resulted in more months off the bike... I recovered somehow and stopped shaking about 5 minutes later...

the ugly? the thoughts running thru my head... "omg... I think my lungs are gonna exlpode...was that a pop? how long can I live after they explode???" followed by... "sheesh, why is she (my friend) going so fast? Is she even sweating? I don't think she's sweating!!!"... followed by... "omg... not another climb... what is this, like 3%??? dying... I'm dying..."

ah, the joy of cycling... sure is good to be back
