Congrats on the gearage! Hubby and I ride tandom when I'm not laid up, and learning to shift on a tandom is like learning to shift a semi with the engine governor choked. I can't count how many steep hills I've skipped the chain on on our tandem.
A hot bath and ibuprofin will help minimize the quad pain tomorrow - the saddle sores are up to mother nature ><
One year we decided to do a 35 mile charity ride when the season first opened on exactly 10 minutes of training prior (just enough to make sure the tuneup on the bike was right and we weren't going to encounter mechanical difficulties). I don't think I could sit right for a week afterwards.
As for the nest egg? Meh, you still got a good cardio workout, and it's still better than sitting in a computer chair stairing at the radiation being emitted from your monitor.
