2018 was a good year for riding for me. It started off with vigor, including a couple of metric century New England Randonneur rides plus one in which I added 20 or so miles on each end to make it a 100+ mile ride, Eroice CA with [MENTION=381793]gugie[/MENTION], [MENTION=226673]spa[/MENTION]ghetti_legs, [MENTION=111144]Andy_K[/MENTION] and hundreds of others, the Lackawana 200k (including [MENTION=73614]rhm[/MENTION]) and a 360k fleche (including [MENTION=73614]rhm[/MENTION] and [MENTION=384048]greg3rd48[/MENTION]) with with the PA Rando group. I actually didn't do any other really long rides after that other than a century in the middle of summer, kitting together my favorite local routes. I did lots of 50-75-mile rides, many of which were on weekends with neighborhood riding buddies, and those are always lots of fun.

In terms of touring, it was another epic French Fender Day/Tour-de-Gugie with [MENTION=381793]gugie[/MENTION], [MENTION=73614]rhm[/MENTION], and others. That was four days from Boston, down to Lyme, CT, and back in early October. Epic!

Bike-wise, my main new acquisition was a Black Mountain Road, which I absolutely love and put most of my miles on. I think riding Eroica on my '73 Condor might have cured me of the vintage bike bug!
