Great year for me! I had not owned a bicycle since about 1983 or so...got diagnosed with diabetes so went looking a bikes. My mind was blown away by the advancements and changes and I had no idea what to look for, so I found a used Trek 800 MTB and planned to just do some loops around the neighborhood. Next I happened upon an old Trek 370 RB in need of some TLC and got her roadworthy.
Then I discovered the Neuse River Greenway, riding became an obsession again, My goal was to be able to ride 30 miles, and I achieved that.
Also picked up an old Austro Daimler Olympian, and more recently a Masi CXGR.
Since May of this year I have logged 1472 miles, currently working on figuring out a diet to keep me from hitting the wall, as I have both Celiac disease and diabetes. I guess that is my goal now, to find a good energy source so maybe I could hit fifty miles on a ride. Cheers all.
