is NOTICEABLE! Holy cow... I rode this weekend for the first time in 5 weeks... and let me tell ya, it was definitely noticeable! AAAAACK! Every rise felt like a climb (especially the first 10 miles!)... I only did a 20 mile ride... still don't want to leave my Mom alone for too awful long... and kept my avg at almost 15mph... but 5 weeks ago it woulda been a no brainer... this weekend it was WORK! LOL...

ah well, I know you lose it fast and gain it fast on the bike... hoping to get some riding in this week after work too... Gotta get my legs back!
