In my first full year of cycling ever (46 yrs. old) I was looking forward to 2011. Came into the year with an undersized Trek 7.2 FX and a 1988 Fuji roadbike that hadn't been ridden in 22 years. I got the Fuji cleaned up and it is a blast. In March I got a entry level CX bike from Performance (after selling the Trek) that I'm very happy with. Some upgrades for the CX bike are planned.

1. Are you progressing toward meeting your cycling goals for the year?

My goal for the year of 2500 miles is currently under 400 miles away. I should have it tackled by Thanksgiving. I may have a shot at 2750 if the northeastern US weather complies in December.

. What kind of distance have you managed for the year so far?

Currently at 2109.

. How many kilometres or miles did you cycle in September?

Right at 297 miles (478 km) for September. Thought I'd hit 300 tonight but couldn't get out of work on time.
