The bit of riding you never forget is the concept of the thing. Pedal, pedal, pedal. That's about it.

Unfortunately, after a eight-year hiatus, it is the 656 muscles of this human body that forgot how to ride a bike.

They remember now, and I rather think they shan’t forget in a hurry.

This week I rode about 46 miles all told. Not a bad warm up for an amateur. Of course, if you know much about biking, you realize this is about the equivalent of running 6.5 miles.

But don't worry, I'm just getting started.
