I broke out the old 12 speed this week and rode twice around the development. That's a whopping five miles, took about fifteen minutes. When I clumsily dismounted in the driveway my quads felt like jelly. Granted it's a POS, yard sale bike and the roads have some kinda long inclines, but damn it, I workout. What's the deal? Are you guys genetically different or have a little special help in those water bottles? My friend, who's probably 80 lbs overweight, goes on 40 mile rides over hilly terrain most weekends. I run him into the ground every week on the basketball court. On a bike ride I'd probably have to fake a mechanical problem at the first bar or ice cream stand we passed.

Anyway, congratulations to you people who go out and ride 50 miles on a Sunday and actually enjoy it. I'd need a Harley, like my "Wild Hog" buddies, to pull that off.
