...it has been 215 days since my last ride.  
 
Finally got the SXP put back together and got everything adjusted.  Moving just sucks after you get into a routine that really works for you.  Living in a hotel for 72 days and then doing major remodeling as soon as we moved into our new-to-us house...not much room left to ride.  North Georgia has lots of hills, nothing like North Texas...well maybe similar to north of McKinney (for those that are familiar with the triple-by-pass) it's kinda like that!  It'll take some time to get back into my HHH shape, and hopefully I can start riding some more, now that the weather has improved.  Of course the pollen right now is almost like dust in your teeth...yuck.
 
So all said I got 8.08 miles in according to Map My Ride.  Did 4.69, and stopped to get my ID which I left at the house, then did the other 3.69.  Felt great and looking forward to getting back up to speed as it were.  A side note: hills: YES, but the roads are all smooth as glass around here!  NO chip-seal that I've seen.  THAT makes for some nice riding.  I think my top speed was somewhere around 34-ish, of course down a VERY steep but short hill on my street.  It is a loop of .9 miles.
 
The new RBENT shirt rides really nice too!  Thanks for taking care of the details Paul!

Get an 11-34 cassette, and replace the 30T with  a 28T  or 26T granny gear...

Oh, and an Xstream climbs MUCH better than a StratusXP...

Funny thing is that I never went to the granny...we'll see as I venture further out.
