I ride any/every day that I want too. Weather is beautiful here this time of year. Rode over 200 miles this weekend.
Getting there little by little. Tomorrow is first day back to work. To tell you the truth, I didn't miss it.

Wish I could say the same. I miss my work, I miss the customers, I REALLY miss the money I used to make. I can't really deal with my career anymore, so I put on a poker face and call it retirement. I might try to do some DIY consulting and/or teaching but even that could be too much.

I wish I didn't feel that way...It would be delusional though to believe anything else.

I made more money at one time. If you fall off the horse, it's hard to get back to where you were. It's definitely ego crushing. After awhile, you start not giving crap.

Cool and damp feeling today but I rode 4 miles this afternoon. Supposed to warm up this weekend and might be able to get a longer ride in.

Didn't come online last night but did a short ride of 13 miles for the day. Have ridden 8 out of 16 days for the month.
