Here in the snowy mountains of western Maine (and we got 9 feet of snow here at Sugarloaf in April this year), I did not start riding until very late April this year. I have logged about 600 miles on a combination of mountain, cross, and road bike. That included doing the 180 mile Trek Across Maine--my first time at that event this June.

That doesn't sound impressive, but for me it is good! Last year I think I had only that much by August! I hope to get to 2500 by September. I ride almost entirely solo; it would be more fun with riding partners but they are hard to find around here!

My goal is to get better at climbing (an uphill battle at age 64-pun intended). I am certainly more fit, but wish a few pounds would slide off!
