I have not been a good biker this year
I keep track of my miles. And it is not good.
As of today, I have ridden about 248 miles this summer. That may seem like a lot, and in a way it is.
But last year I rode 609 miles. Granted....over 100 of those were in the Netherlands on our biking trip, but that still makes almost 500 miles of riding in the states.
In 2017 I rode 349 miles. No trips, just riding.
So....I have a ways to go to even match 2017 and no way I can match last year, unless I ride to DesMoines in the next month or so.
I need a riding group. And not young, thin guys in their super tight spandex. Older folks. A couple of people who regularly ride, whether it is the bike path or a bike trail. A biking club that rides. I know there are clubs in DeKalb and Rockford, but I really don't want to cart my bike up there to ride.
My annual goal is always 500 miles. Someday I would like to hit 1,000 in one summer. I think I better get serious about that because I am not getting any younger.
Biking is good exercise plus it gives me a mental release. I am relaxed when I ride and when I am done. I have great conversations, out loud, because no one else is around.
I have solved many problems out there on the bike.
Summer is rapidly running out......so I better get riding.
Peace and Love
