One year anniversary ride
One year anniversary ride
One year ago I returned to cycling with the purchase of a new bike for commuting. I enjoyed bikes when I was in my teens, but had probably ridden less than 100 miles in the last 35 years. I was nearly 240 lbs a year ago; I’m down to 210 now. More important, I'm more fit and am enjoying a more active lifestyle.
During the last year I’ve ridden more than 3000 miles. I’m going to celebrate by riding at least 80 miles tomorrow and will try for a century if everything goes well.
Thanks to all my friends here at BF, it's been great.
Michael
