I got out for another 23 miles today, bringing me to 2543, a high for me by about 40 miles. I also shattered my previous high for miles run in the year. It's been a good year.

70 miles today on the road. It was the longest ride I have ever done alone. Quite a nice day at around 73, wind kept shifting which made the ride hard but I enjoyed it. Saw a lot of wonderful animals: buffalo (being raised on a ranch), doves, two roadrunners, a bunch of loose but friendly dogs (this is a rural area), goats and longhorn cattle. Great way to end the year.

I rode every day since Tuesday. Last two included one to Arivaca through desert grasslands with gorgeous views of the Santa Rita Mtns. Today was a ride through northwest Tucson. I added 86 more miles, enjoyed good riding companionship with my DH and ended up with 4911 for the year. More good weather forecast for New Year's Day...

Got out for one last ride. About 3 miles from home I made the unthinkable mistake of crossing my gears and broke my chain. Not a fun way to end my riding for the year. But, one of my goals for 2012 is to learn bike repair and maintenance. This just reinforced it.
