I love reading this thread. I just think, "I'm not the only one!" Today, my husband and I went to Little Rock and made the loop over the Big Dam Bridge, to the River Market, ate and then back. It was 17 miles. It was an awesome day for riding (upper 50's/lower 60's). Besides falling over in the parking lot...it was a great ride. I started off too slow and got hung up in those new clipless pedals!
