Riding – distance, hours, frequency, fitness? closing in on 5000 miles, my goal was an average of 10 miles a day, so way over. I started riding with a club for the first time in over 40 years, and found i wanted to go faster, always chasing the best guys. I ride (usually) 4 days a week. For my birthday, i was going to upgrade my "good" bike with the latest and greatest, but instead, i decided to upgrade me. I haired a cycling coach and started doing structured training, but now with any real defined goals.

Touring/Vacations – any memorable tours, charitable events, vacation(s)? I did a bunch of organised rides this year. 2 centuries, and a few metrics. the Cool Breezes, hilly century was 112 miles, and I rode 116 for the day, a new PR for distance, along with 6200 ft of vertical.

Bike Collection – additions, reductions, grail bikes? I ride most miles on my 2013 Pinarello. but I re-acquired a 1993 Specialized Allez that i had sold to an old co-worker, since he wasn't riding it anymore, and then i bought a mid 80s Ciocc when i started talking to a guy on some club rides that started showing up with a GORGEOUS Eddy Merckx. he told me about this Ciocc, and now ! am buying parts to get it ready for L'Erocia.

Planning two bike trips next year, so i have been saving all of my epic for then!
