sounds sound enough. I just miss being able to gently cruise at 22, or do a quick 60 miles and thinking nothing of it, so trekking up to the park and back, and doing a bit of seeing-what-I-can-hold-without-killing-myself seemed a sensible enough way to get back to where I was, or at least provide the option of being up to clocking up some gentle countryside miles. I currently doubt whether I can even get out to the big wide green and back without knackering myself.
This time last year I was commuting ~30 miles a day and doing bits round kent on the odd dry weekends, this year I'm not even commuting, and I assume it was the intense commutes throughout winter that got me reasonably nippy for the sunny fun times, so it's that I'm trying to emulate. Not that I ever really know what I'm doing.
