It Has Been a Tough Start to the Year

Three days of riding in a row!  I’m embarrassed to say that today’s ride marks only the second time this year I’ve ridden more than two days in a row.  I’ve not yet put together a longer string this year … except a string of no rides for 10 days and another of 9.  Granted, there has been illness and challenging weather, but still.  I need to kick this up a notch.

This morning’s ride to Annapolis for breakfast was the usual great time.  There was only one scare, and that was when a deer looked like it was going to challenge us for position on the road shoulder.  I think Mike B’s shout convinced the deer to go another direction.  Mike C drove down, so he was there for the first time in 3 months.  He is 12 weeks post surgery on an Achilles tear.  I had to rush back because I have a service window of “8-12” for a washing machine repair.  I would have liked to ride longer, but will have to settle for 27 miles on the day.

This Ride: 27 miles
Month: 297.8 miles
2013: 713.9 miles
Total since 1/1/2010: 20,486.8 miles
