I'm going to end up with my lowest mileage total since I started cycling seriously in 2008. Part of that is because I broke a rib in the spring and slacked off of the recreational cycling I usually do in the summer. This led to a massive decline in fitness, which in turn led to lower motivation. On top of the injury, my oldest daughter graduated from high school and having decided to take a year off has been developing her baking skills. Three or four times a week she's been making some amazing desert. I have gained 20 pounds since she finished school.
I reached the point in mid-November where I really, really wanted to ride more often, but various family priorities have kept it from happening. I'm pretty optimistic though and hope to get back on top of my fitness in the next few months.
Goals for 2017:
* have a lot of fun riding the bike!
* 3000 miles
* get back under 200 pounds
