2014 gets a big "meh" from me. It was very rainy and cold coming out of winter, which gave little motivation to start riding again. I had desired to do a full Super Randonneur series as a dry run for next year's PBP, but bad weather and involvement in two weddings meant that I didn't ride a single brevet this spring. Finally started to get on track with commuting this summer and did my 6th RAGBRAI, but still ended up missing a lot of my club's weekend rides. Fall was when I started commuting in earnest and eating healthier in an attempt to finally shed my extra weight from the previous winter. Which I'm happy to say was a success, and now my goal for the rest of this winter is to keep the seasonal weight in check by avoiding sugar and riding as much as I can.

I had hoped to ride 5000 total miles this year, but only came in around 3200 due to all the stuff I complained about above. Next year, I plan to do better in all regards.
