TOTAL MILEAGE FOR 2016 - 3498.5
What a remarkable day for the end of November! When I went out to ride, a bit past 12:30, I enjoyed 56° sunshine, and that temperature climbed a degree during my ride. For the first time in several weeks, I was able to ride with neither coat nor gloves. Given the conditions, I felt as if I should have ridden for hours and hours.
Instead, however, I rode consecutive round trips to Marsh Park, completing the 18 miles in 1:58. And one statistical milestone that I failed to note yesterday—that ride pushed me over 400 hours of elapsed riding time for the year.
I am rather dismayed to note that, of the 334 days in 2016 so far, I've only been able to ride on 218 of them. I feel as if the total should be well north of that, but those days on which I could not ride have run the gamut, from numerous mechanical issues (primarily early in the year, when I still had the old trike), days when we have been traveling (not a lot, but a few weeks' worth all told), a few days when I could not ride due to illness, and a handful of days when schedule conflicts (family or church commitments and the like) simply made it impossible to ride. Anyway—here's to a more disciplined 2017!
