It's good to be back on the bike!!  2012 was a bust for bike riding, I didn't come close to what I wanted to ride. Partly do to other activities and partly do to injuries.

2013 will be a the year of new beginnings as I begin my training for my next big ride.  Not sure what that will be yet but I have a goal to ride the Trans-America bike trial in 2017 self supported.  Right now my plan is to ride 5 days a week and slowly build up my weekly miles.  My 1st century ride is scheduled in April so I have a lot mile to put in during the next 3 1/2 months.

Great Day for a Ride

My goal for this week is to ride 100 miles and ride 5 days.  Today I road a short easy 11 miles to start getting use to the saddle again.  I hooked up my bike camera before starting my ride.  It's programed to take a photo every min.

A photo of my neighborhood near the 5 mile turn around.

Back to Riding!!

I decided to take several months off riding to catch up in other areas in life with a goal of riding again in the first week of June.

So here it is June 3rd.  I have signed up for 3 Century rides; Windmill Century on July 21, Cool Breeze Century on August 18, and Lighthouse Century on September 29th.

My goal is to ride a century a month for the rest of the year starting in July

I will start riding 5 days a week on Monday June 4th.
