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.

Back in the saddle again!!

Back in the saddle again!! 

January 1st 2012, my 1st ride since i got back from my cross country bike ride in Aug 2011 see www.bob2wheels.com . 

I been wanting to get back on the bike for a while now and today I finale did.  It felt good except for my butt, it was out of condition.  I only went for a short 10 mile ride, but it was enough to get my ridding juices flowing again.  I'm planing my return to long distance ridding and I have my 1st century ride scheduled for late April 2012!!
