Koronin, I started out on a half-mile trail along with my just-learned-to-ride-a-bike son. Once we were doing that up and back five times and not stopping after every mile, I started looking for other places to ride.

Got in just over 20 miles today; it was dark by the time I was done. I'd say I should have started earlier to get more miles in but my thighs are feeling the ride, and this is very very rare; usually the only thing that hurts when I'm done are my (poor abused) knees and sometimes my sit parts. I haven't been on my bike since the WGC on 10/23 -- a month! Did two short rides in Paris [woot!] on California beach cruisers, but I guess it's just not the same.
