speaking of body parts, i took my mother out to adopt a cute new kitten to replace her dear old cat that died, and my mother says to me, your figure is better now that you're riding. Your legs look great and so does your butt!
my mother said that!

so with all this impressive (cough) musculature, why are all of those muscles screaming after our wild 33 mile ride yesterday?
I think i just proved that it's a lot easier to ride 100 miles on THE BACK of a tandem than it is to ride 33 miles on the roadbike.
NOw, mind you, i was exhausted completely after the 100 miles (talking about day 1 of RSVP ) and completely wiped out;
but after my little 33 mile ride, i have sore muscles EVERYWHERE. Going down stairs is fun.
how can that be?
