176 miles. 13,500 ft of climbing. 1 jammed derailleur cable. 3 flat rear flats. 1 dislodged disc brake pad. 1 trip to the bike repair shop in Ramona, Ca. 1 feisty Pinarello Tandem that decided to shift on it's own during climbs. 2 incredibly patient riders who were willing to laugh at their misfortune and 17:20 300km brevet experience which ended after midnight.
Rode with 5 friends around San Diego Bay. One of the boyfriends hasn't ridden much so they took a different route (ferry across to Coronado) and we rode around the bay and finally met them at a hamburger joint.
Ended up doing 30 miles, had a great time, couldn't have ask for nicer weather.
Was able to get in 550 miles for January - that's great for me. I'm hoping to be able to complete 4000 miles by the end of this year.
Last year missed that by about 150 miles, so I'm sure I will be able to do it this time. Last year I was expecting to do only 3000 miles so I actually did better then I thought I would. :D

Not a big headache, but a mild throb, as well as my neck muscles from the impact. There wasn't great damage to the helmet, just a flat spot on the forehead where I hit. I think most of it was on my shoulder, at least from the marks! :o
Almost 10 miles at 'boyfriend pace'. (Easy, breezy). It was perfect though; After tipping (ahh clipless) a few weeks back, I've been a little nervous. (I'm not afraid of hitting the pavement, it's that moment in between;) Saturday was beautiful with low traffic, a perfet time to play with my feet! I feel much better!
