About 6 weeks ago I went on my first long-ish ride. It was only 15 miles, but I hadn't been over 5 yet so it was a big deal. It took me 60 minutes and I was fatigued when I was done. I did that same ride yesterday and completed it in 49 minutes. I felt much better when I was done to boot. I still need to get a new helmet. The one I have was a cheapo when I bought it about 10 years ago in a bookstore. It weighs double what a good helmet would weigh and it creates quite a racket with the airflow around the sides of my ears. It always sounds like there is a car coming up behind me even when there isn't.
I got myself a heart rate monitor so I can be warned if I'm about to have a heart attack.

glad to know that you are protecting yourself against a heart attack
Yeah, if you are going to be "on the road" so much, the least you can do for your wife is stay alive!
Your bike looks pretty nifty! I would love one of those. Next summer my friend and I are doing a mini triathlon. All I have at the moment is an off road bike.
Thanks for all of your expertise on training for the run I am doing this November. I know nothing and love it when I just get handed all of the information!!!
Isn't your booty sore after those long rides? Those seats are tiny and not soft!
