Today’s ride:
Left the house at 7:00 AM this morning and rode solo to Panera Bread for my breakfast as usual. From there we went north on International Parkway to SR 46A and then west to Orange Ave then north to Deer Path. From I turned around and headed back to Sylvan Lake Road then west to the northern trail head for another break. The county had just put the top coat of black top on a new half mile extension to the trail so I rode it out and back. On the return trip I ran into one of my riding friends so I turned around and rode with him back to the trail head then headed for home. The temp was already in the mid 80s when I got back. If the weather holds it looks like I will have a 1,000 mile month which would exceed last month’s record of 965 miles. I only need 37 miles.

Statistics for: 05/29/2011
Miles today: 48+
Mileage this month May: 963+
Mileage this year: 3933+ (56 % of my 2011 goal)
Over/under riding days 2011 vs. 2010: +7
Over/under miles 2011 vs. 2010: +1079 miles
Average miles per ride this year: 40+
Average miles per ride this month: 45.8+
Miles needed to hit my 2011 goal of 7,000: 3066, and an 8,500 mile year (would be my best ever) is not out of reach.

Tomorrow will be at least a 35 mile ride to get me to 1,000 miles this month….

Here are some photos of the new tunnel construction going under Lake Mary Blvd and the trail extension at the north end trail head. This extension makes the trail 14 miles from end to end and is one of the better trails in Florida. IMO
