Had to cut things a bit short this am : 32 miles, 2100' of climbing. I've been busy this last three months even in retirement, but my birthday is looming, an event that will require a 69 mile ride probably with 5000' of climbing. I've got 3-4 weekends to ramp up the weekly miles and, more important, get in some good climbing. I'm wondering what happened to my vision of riding 5-6 times a week in retirement, but I am enjoying life.
