Seems like a good workout.
I have also noticed that when your body gets used to a certain workout, it looses its efficiency. I am going on vacation next week, and can't go to the gym. But i will take my bicycle with me. And i am actually looking forward to seeing if it could restart, some of my bigger weightlosses.

I regard to your arthritis. Have you ever tried taking ginger pills. Ginger has the ability to fight inflammation, in the body. I used it, with great effect some years ago, when i had tendonitis. And i have started using it again. Because at my present level of exercise, my knees and ancles, tend to get a little irritated and sore.
