I've been sort of off for two months or so .. just a couple of rides, no gym workouts. I think I needed a break, as I did several centuries, a week-long tour of the rockies and a killer called the triple bypass (120 miles over three mountain passes) during the summer. My body's demanding some off-time, it seems, so that's what I'm doing. But I don't feel as good or as energetic these days, and I miss that. Seem much more prone to depressive states and lethargy.

Enough's enough! Gotta get my expanding a** back in gear... Wish there were more of you here in Colorado to ride with!
