I skipped the spds over the winter, keeping a level of fitness with about ten miles a day of utility cycling in civilian clothes. Suited up a couple days ago, and took the Trusty Aerospace Viscount for a quick twenty miler. Felt freakin awesome! Its a crazy fast rolling bike due to the tires and dead simple drivetrain.

So yesterday I rode ten in the morning back from the auto shop. Then twenty in lycra and cleats, and an additional ten of utility cycling. Not thinking that it would catch up with me.

OUCH! I know I shouldnt have played chase with Pat on his Colnago. Amusingly enough, its mainly my shoulders that hurt, from doing massive sprints during our fartlek.

i find that my chest is toning better than my legs thanks to all the standy upy hill climb stuff ive been doing recently.
