Getting back in shape

Getting back in shape is tough after not riding for over a month. Daily commute to the train station helps a little. I just repeated Suffern-Ridgewood 22 mile loop last night after work. It seemed much easier than the first time I did it. Still took me 1.5 hours to complete tho... This time traffic was much lower (maybe because I started at 7:15 PM). I got a little wet in the rain on the way back, and it was getting pretty dark. Recently purchased PB Super Flash came in real handy for letting drivers behind me that I was there. I do need to get a good headlight too, because cars that enter the road or make right turn from the opposite lane hardly see me in the dark :(
