I stumbled across this on Google and though I'd post it here.

I read this thinking, yes, I can get up to the distances I want to be able to go and at least start to keep up with distance-wise (not necessarily keep pace with speed-wise) my more bike experienced SO and I don't have to get down to skin and bones before I can do it.

Can I please leave work now so I can go bike ?
