Went for a ride today... it was killer since I'm so out of shape, and it only went 32 miles.  To put this in perspective my heart rate was pumping at over 180 but I didn't even have any hills of note.  One of the old guys pulled up next to me and said “I was going to ask where you had been riding... but it's pretty obvious you haven't been.”  It was sad... even sadder since I didn't even do the correct route and cut 6 miles off the route.  Here's teh elevation profile for the ride I did.

Note that the max elevation was 600 feet... and even then most of the climbs were nice and gradual... it's a sad day when a course this flat leaves me winded.  Well I have my work cut out for me for the coming year.
