Walnut cracking!
I rode home again today, the long way around the north end of the lake. A little shy of 30 miles... and 2 massive hills! I'm planning to do that ride 2-3 times a week, and the regular 13 mile short route on the other days (assuming I don't need to drive for some reason). By the end of the month, you'll be able to crack walnuts on these here thighs! >:-)
