I’m back on the bike in a more serious mindset than I had last year. I only ended up riding a single century last year, Death Valley Spring, it was a good ride. However, once that was over I got more busy with other things and dealing with some health issues within my immediate family and I just never made the time. This year I’m back on the bike, progressing through training and hoping to do my first century in March. I think i’ll be ready if the weather cooperates and allows me to get out for a long ride once a week. I’m riding 4 times a week for an average of 20 miles per ride. I ride 1 day on the fixed gear, and the other days on a multispeed bike.

I haven’t ridden serious in months and was amazingly out of shape. I started riding again on January 20th so the numbers for January are small, things have been picking up the first part of February and if things continue I should be in pretty good shape. We’ll see.

Total Mileage in January : 152.59 miles

Multigear Mileage : 140.59

Fixed Gear ( track bike ) Mileage : 12

Looks a little grim when I look at what I was doing weekly when I did the Foxy’s Fall classic a couple of years ago. Gotta get back into that kind of shape.
