Thanks for the good words Bruno, I know it'll only make me stronger, but damn, that ride kicked my butt today. My problem is that I still remember my old standards, where a ride like this was nothing, I would do it a few times a week. Ofcourse I was 15 years younger and 60 pounds lighter

Today's ride was short (about 10 miles only) but sweet. Not because of climbs, or sprints, but because my 17 year old son just got a new road bike today and "hot shot" thought he would show Dad a thing or two. He was a MTB guy up until today. Within 1000 yards of the house he throws the chain on a bad shift. And on the hills he was left in the dust. I believe his words before we left the house were "I'm gonna smoke ya!".

Uh huh!

Over three days the last week, my wife & I logged a total of Forty-three Mountain Bike miles on the Carriage Roads in Acadia National Park at about 8.5 MPH…rewarding ourselves with afternoon tea & popovers at the end of the rides at the Jordan Pond House…
