More or less a bicyclist

My ongoing plan to minimize bike commuting in order to free up a little energy with which to ride for fun was fairly successful last month. I rode my mountain and road bikes more in September than I had in the previous five months, and I parked the commuter for almost an entire work week. Now, here I am three days (and two commutes) into October, and my quads are still aching. What that tells me is that it was about time I did something a bit more arduous that rolling back and forth to work. It feels good to be a bicyclist again.
