I am so tired. Barely any riding over the past two months, and I tried to make up for it in one ride. Good club ride with good, patient friends. They waited and waited for me the whole 29 miles of vicious hills. Learned a lot though.

1.) Don't expect to pick up where you left off if you haven't been on the bike in awhile. Hills will kill you if you don't spend time with them!

2.) Don't go to the chiropractor for neck/shoulder problems right before you ride. The adjustment and muscle work was wonderful. But then, for the ride several hours later, I spent the majority of the ride barely able to hold on to the handlebars. Familiar with the legs feeling like jelly during a ride. This is the first time my arms have felt like jelly...

3.) Memo to self: take extra clothes so you don't have to drive home in damp cycling gear!
