biked 4 miles today on a dirt road and found myself much more comfortable with the bike. the seemingly, made-for-bikes, flat roads near the beach are a teeny tad different of an experience than riding rolling hills of my home area on roads that quite often don't have much of a shoulder. And dirt roads are full of potential problems not found on nicely paved roads. Quickly remembering that a fast downhill aids in the following climb, I added some speed downhill and actually surpassed all of 25 mph at one point. I admit that had me a bit nervous given my bare legs and the, albeit sparsely, gravel strewn road covering. However, I managed to avoid any mishap and built up quite a bit of lactic acid trying to get up the hills. I'm thinking my legs will be a bit sore tomorrow.
