April was good, but the first quarter, not so much. April had 588 miles (12% improvement over last year), and essentially tied second most elevation in a month at 27,600' (most - nearly 60k' - was in a month that included a cycling vacation, which I expect to improve upon this month). First quarter was a slower start than I'd hoped for - little more than 200 miles each month, with March distance 45% below last year and elevation 62% below!
Highlight has probably been the chance encounters with friends and acquaintances - impromptu rides, or just being out on the road and running into them, riding together for a bit, enjoying a break together, etc. Oh, and finally signing up for Citibike! So much more fun than riding the subway around town! It's also made for a record-crushing 54 rides in the month of April, and lots more kudos earned.

Nice! - But half supported; how does that work? Only enough water and bananas for half of the participants?
