Summer has hit us hard with this sudden heat, right on schedule for the Solstice. Whether you are riding early in the morning or in the heat of the day, these are peak or the longest days of summer. Time to ride!
I thought this might be appropriate to post up on how you are doing with your riding goals for 2012. Any exciting rides, races or vacations, whatever.
I'll start first -
General stats to date:
outdoor bike riding activities on 118 days
64 hours on road bike
161 hours on mountain bike
58 hours trail building and maintenance
My most satisfying accomplishment was helping to finnish reroute construction on the red trail in Ringwood. When I first envisioned this project, it seemed more like a fantasy. It is very rewarding to see bikers out enjoying themselves on the trail today, but few really know the depth of my emotion when I actually removed the "foot traffic only" sign from the trail, with permission from the park. That in itself was a 15 year goal, finally reached.
For the second half of the year, I hope to ride some more cool places and race cross.
So, what have you been doing ?.....
