I've put in more miles this year since I'm retired. My biking is still sporadic between the winter and windy days though. I probably need to follow a better training plan to have more endurance and increase speed. The good and bad thing about riding alone is you don't have to push yourself. I've participated in tours this summer where I am always at the tail-end. Keeping up with some riders would be great, but still enjoy what I can accomplish.(However slow)!
