My ride home just about killed me...I'm thinking there is just too much climbing for me to handle just now. Hopefully I can rest up this weekend and come back stronger next week. At the two traffic lights I have on the last 2 miles home, my arms and hands were shaking and I was about to collapse. Took me 34 minutes to get there, 38 home--there's a lot more climbing on the way home. I think I may have to find another route for fun rides.

On the bright side, this should help get me in shape faster (assuming I can actually do the ride every day) and someone who reads my bike blog wants to start doing rides. So that could be motivation.
