A huge disappointment..

Built up a steel Pinarello in the off season with the help of my trusty neighborhood mechanic Psimet. That was the pinnacle of my biking season. Lost 35 pounds between Jan and the April and enjoyed the heck out of the New Glarus ride, even while bringing up the rear. Fully expected to complete my 1st century this year and at the very least, a metric.

Got lazy, stopped exercising so much and put 10 pounds back on instead of continuing the downward spiral. Logged only 700 miles so far with a couple 40 mile rides as my max. Found that working 10hr days was not very condusive to commuting as I hade child care issues most of the days I worked and had to be home ASAP. Even tho I had weekends off for the summer months, got out very little due to prior plans and again, laziness. Found just about every excuse not to ride that I could. Made zero group rides except for the New Glarus ride.

Essentially in a nutshell, I really, really sucked this year. Now have M,T,W off for 6 months. School is finishing up for me as I'm now in my last class before earning my Bachelors at 44, and preparing to move on to my Masters. However, I vow to be ready for next year. I'll start the season off at least 40 pounds lighter than I am now, or I'll never be seen on this forum again.
