I'm happy that my body's remembered how to go long distances, although mentally I need to remember that I need to eat every so often...nearly bonked on the Hill of Doom on Walney--I was just completely out of gas by that time that my speed dropped from a good 17mph to 10mph down to 7mph. But it was good.
Had a guy (his name is Gaston) on a Cannondale mountain bike pull up next to me and comment on how nice my bike was. Then he asked what Cat(egory) I raced, to which I said that I didn't race. And then he takes off, on his mountain bike (with full-knobby tires) at about 20mph (which is absolutely bombing-it for a MTB). Nice =)
