Friday evening, I did a moderately-paced, women's-only mountain bike ride with the LBS that I'll be racing for next spring (gulp!). It was a great way to meet a couple of my teammates, and everyone was super-nice! Afterwards, we hung out at the shop, drank beer, and chatted. It was a great time

Sunday evening, I did the shop ride. It was 3 of us: the shop owner, another guy...and me. OMG. I'm pretty sure that my lungs and at least one leg are still are the trail somewhere! I know that ride will make me faster and stronger, but I dunno if I can do that again.... Oww.
