Thanks everyone for all the great info. You’ve given me a lot to check out. I may give some of you who emailed me separately a call. Look for my column on Strava Jan. 17 in the Post’s Local Living section, and online Jan. 15 under the Wellness heading.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I’ll follow up in another column toward the end of the summer and let you all know how it went.

Yesterday I tried the round trip for the first time (17 miles each way). Three words: Not. Ready. Yet.

Tomorrow I’m going to drive somewhere, probably the CCT, and round trip a shorter commute.

I’m sure this all old hat to you folks who have put in thousands of miles, but I’m having a good time.

Hi, all:

Please see my follow up column in the Post. You’re right, I’ve learned a whole lot since those first two rides. I’m riding most days and testing all kinds of advice I received in the comments of that first column and in emails. Thanks for reading.

Here’s the follow-up:
