Well, not quite sure what to say, think this is something that happens to a lot of true lovers of the sport, they never forget what they could do and when they've been off for a while, still come back and try to go at the same speed/level of efort that they used to be able to do, only to be very disappointed when that hard effort up that climb didn't even come close to your worse days when fit.
Also wanted to say, really jealous of the last paragraph and can very clearly think back to my ride of the Monarch Crest Trail and ending with that beautiful Rainbow Trail, was quite done at the end, but man, what views and what a ride and to finish of with Rainbow, how perfect - have fun Mike.
