I lurk a lot, but very seldom post. However, for me, today is a special day. Today ends my tenth year of cycling. My first bike was a Trek 1200C purchased on this date in 2005, from Maplewood Bicycles in Maplewood, Missouri. I still have the 1200C, and ride in quite often.

In ten years I’ve had in my possession 11 different bicycles, with my current N number at 5.

In ten years I’ve ridden over 27,000 miles, of those miles, 14,500 miles have been on the Katy Trail. (I live very close to the Katy.)

I’ve completed 18 centuries, and 8 Tour de Donuts. I’ve ridden the Katy Trail end to end 3 times.

While these accomplishments are small compared to some, I feel pretty good about them.

Now at 65, I’m looking forward to the next ten years.

Thanks for reading.
