    not big mileage, but personal improvement

    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!

    2349 miles, 2 centuries, 5 metric centuries, 35 mile round trip to church every sunday, 11 mile round trip to work every day.

    i just love to ride - whenever wherever with whoever. usually just me and DH, but we go on group rides when available. nothing much available right now as its 115 degrees outside! any group rides start at 6 a.m. which i dont do, (i get off work at 10 p.m.) and then i would have to go to work in the afternoon saturday anyway.
