Goals

To get to a dry month might be my first goal.
June was soggy to say the least here in WNY.
One week the rain never let up..7 days.
Flat repairs got so bad that bike shops were selling out of slime.
After a 300 mile month in April and another in May I figured I'd crack 1000 miles with the club in June.
Well, I cracked 2400 but most of it was the to and from riding to save on gas costs.
Have I made any goals?
Yeah..
Thanks to a 16.5 pound ultra stiff CF framed Motobecane I've become a force to be dealt with...so long as we stay under 35 miles (lol)
Where 16 was the norm on the steel Paramount, 19 is now the norm on the CF Moto and hill climbing has begun producing grins rather than groans.
Yesterday on a stretch on road along the southern shore of western lake ontario-with a breeze at the back-I kept with the lead guy..well into 26mph.
color me happy..overweight but happy.
