So sadly, I'm lucky if I get to do 40 miles in a week, and if I do dare ride 40miles in a single day, I'll be hurt up for a really long time. My doctors have given me an 'open' prescription for whatever opiates I want, but I adamantly refuse to take any pain killer that is not ibuprofen (seriously, ibuprofen STOPS pain, opiates just get you high).

Somehow, I manage to spend at least 20 hours a week fixing the club's bikes. These days I wrench much more than I actually ride. Sigh
