Cycling is much more quad specific than running. Look at the world class cyclists then the distance runners. The burn should go away in time.

Yep that’s where cycling is different than running.

You might also look for a group ride to go out with, to help you learn some of the do’s and don'ts of road riding. Hang at the back and watch what they do and how they interact. My current favorite thing about riding is the group I ride with.

@Basil I’ve done both of those things. Knees are gone now so no more running for me. Your lungs should translate over. The leg muscles don’t exactly match up but you should adjust fairly quickly. What others have said is true. All the points at which you touch the bike need to be carefully adjusted. A thirty minute run translates to a two hour ride, so you find areas of your body that hurt that didn’t running, like your lower back for instance. You just need time in the saddle.

It’s too bad the egg roll stands on the drag got busted.- Port Aransas
The boating accident occurred at 5:30 am in the dark so they were probably just heading out. Ship was inbound in the channel. I’m sure @justhookit has the most details. Alcohol unlikely. Sad deal.- Where Should I Retire...?
You talk about tax rate as a criteria. By that I assume you mean property tax rate rather than income/sales taxes. We have lived in Texas and Colorado. Your $1.5-2.5MM property investment in Colorado is cheaper in the long run than Texas for sure. Don’t know about the other options.- 2024 Hurricane Season thread of DOOM

The logistical effort to organize and effectively manage 5000 (or whatever) crews coming from all over country to get out to work on individual projects is immense. Seems like they should have a playbook for that and maybe have war-gamed that situation ahead of time. But what do I know.- 2024 Hurricane Season thread of DOOM

But what does Ms Hidalgo have to say? Or is she curled up in the fetal position?- Port Aransas
Headed in July 16th. Hopefully the Beryl clears out without any major damage.- Schlossed and confused: When panic leads to an Earley hire
Not sure that Trev could actually say all that with a straight face.- Let's send the Freer HS Band to Canton - Steve McMichaels HOF Induction Parade
Band nerd (former? no still) also. In for fiddy.- Vote for Augie as most iconic coach in CWS history

Thanks, saw that one on TW. Also, there’s a Hawaiian brand Koloa I may give a try. Headed to Port A in a few weeks, and enjoy me some rum drinks at the beach.- Texas Baseball 2025 - Your SEC regular season champions!!
Huge if true- Vote for Augie as most iconic coach in CWS history
Feels like Schloss is a worthy successor to Augie. Sorry it took 8 years to get there.- Massive computer outage at car dealerships could last for days
*affected- Yo Ho Ho - Let's Talk Rum
I’ve enjoyed a few bottles of the Diplomatico. Good stuff. I used to buy Ten Cane Rum for my Mojitos and other mixed drinks. But I don’t see it anymore. What is a similar rum? Not white rum but light gold.- Schlossed and confused: When panic leads to an Earley hire
If the dude can triple his salary, a couple more years in collieville doesn’t seem so bad does it?- Schlossed and confused: When panic leads to an Earley hire
This aggy coaching search sounds a lot like the David Pierce sweepstakes back in the day. A long list of names of guys who got raises and extensions, and a bunch of No Thanks I'm Good. Leadership counts I guess. Sorry aggy.- Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
Most all my bills are on autopay. F that crap.- The Surly Road Cycling Thread
Buddy of mine and his son did the Continental Divide route a bunch of years ago. Took them 60 days, and they camped mostly. I don't think they went into Canada, but did start in Mexico. https://bikepacking.com/routes/great-divide-mountain-bike-route-gdmbr/ - Texas Getting Michelin Star Ratings in 2025
