For today's ride, I took Mrs. Peel on her first long Sunday ride. I kinda feel like until I've ridden a bike >50 miles in one go, I'm not really taking that bike seriously. I didn't take it easy, either. I got out of the saddle in the same places I always do, took the descents as fast as she'd go, and even bunnyhopped the expansion joints without flinching. When I got back, I half expected to hear that 'tick....tick....tick' you hear when you turn off your car after a fast and satisfying run.
