Thanks, everyone! Actually, I didn't do much riding this past week, just some low recovery miles because my crotch was sore and I didn't want to risk another skin breakdown. But I went out today just for a 20 miler (yeah, my "casual cruise around the neighborhood" has turned into a 20 miler) , and I took Mon & Tues off and I can get in some some longer riding on those days, and we'll do a BIG ride on the weekend. And I'm very happy that today I took a sharp hill that has always beaten me. I ate her like a cookie! I may still be an apple, but it's apple full of dynamite! hoho!
