It has been an excellent year for me. I set some goals, and I have exceeded them. I'm about to hit my mileage goal for the year, and there are three months left to the year! September has been the biggest month for miles. I plan to be tougher against the weather this winter, though I think I will mostly avoid icy and snowy surfaces. I have to figure out how I want to handle cold rain, and that shouldn't be too hard. In below-freezing temperatures, I have to figure out how to keep my hands and feet warm. I have to wear SPD shoes, so that adds to that challenge. I have an excellent jacket and a ski helmet, so they help.
