its not too bad - just that everyone out here is a freakin' animal on the bike. the level of fitness steps up a notch or two for sure. but thats a good thing i suppose.

i actually love it here in the Sierras. if i'm allowed to be a softy for a bit - i just miss all of these other hooligans and misfits back east.
