from a riding aspect 2013...was by best year since I took up cycling as an adult back in April 2010. Highest total mileage ever for a calendar year 4675 miles. That is up from two years of 3400 miles each of the last two years. I completed my first Century and did a second one. I rode around Lake Tahoe for the America's Most Beautiful ride. I gained a riding partner...something new to me...it has been awesome. Now it is very hard to ride alone! Only fell once....that is pretty good. It will be interesting to see what 2014 brings. Ride safe....and have fun most of all!
