This has been the best year (or at least the most days on a bike) riding, I think. Last February was really mild in the NYC area. So I got to ride just about every day back then. Also haven't been sick in the last two years before my recent battle with bronchitis. Maybe cyclecommuting helps to keep me healthier than I thought? I don't really have any goals for mileage. But am happy to do around 5000 miles this year. I didn't keep totals before this year so have nothing to compare it to. But I think most years could be closer to 4500 or so factoring in the extra snow or bad weather days off the bike. I'm just happy to be riding the bike. I sometimes think that I'm strange when I see other folks reactions to my commute. But I think its possible while still being reasonable with limitations (no riding: under 20F, roads not clear, sick days, vacation, etc). If I had a goal, I guess it would be to reel in my diet a little more. I'm a big boy at ~230 lbs. So could use to lose some more weight and be around ~200 or so. I still feel strong at this weight so losing would put me into another category on the hills. Its just that I like my SMIDGAF diet too much at the moment. Also nice to eat like a horse and not worry. My wife still marvels and complains about my eating habits...

Here's to a better 2017! May your bike never creak and may the wheels stay upright and on the road/MUP...
