Durn tootin'. Experience tells me that I will feel great on the second day after a big skate like that. But oh, the first day after!

Locals tell me it's only about six miles. Tell that to my feet--and my poor nerves! Down that long, winding hill up at the north end of the park, where the angle is about 35 degrees and you can't see what's coming around the curve at you and you're slaloming like mad trying to dump some speed and 32 feet per second per second is no longer a good idea AT ALL....
