Christ, I guess it's not so bad here. I can still ride, even feel a little gaining of fitness. I'm not fast by any means, but don't run out of gas after a small climb like before. This after about three 15 mile weekend rides, with no real push to go fast or "train" or whatever.
Here's the ******** old man story:
I used to be pretty damn fast. Did the Rosarito/Ensenada in 2 1/2 hours one time. Ok that was in the 90's and had some help with drafting, but still.
