I’m back in the saddle again getting ready for a wonderful season of cycling. I finally decided to get off my duff—actually, that’s only partially true. I actually got on my duff; it’s just that I got my duff on my Wierwolf saddle instead of the comfy chair.
I can thank Catholicism for my return to cycling commuting. During the Superbowl yesterday, several party-goers were commenting about what they were going to give up for Lent. I decided to give up driving my car to work.
It felt good to get back on my bike. I had trouble though when I saw my cycling computer. I hate the inevitable resetting of the odometer. It was good to note that I logged at least 875 miles, but I just hate starting over at 0. I put off the reset with the excuse that I wanted to document the mileage before resetting. Now that I’ve documented it, I guess there’s nothing left to do, but send it back to 0, square one, home base, goose egg.
At least I finally have a New Year’s resolution; and only 1 month late. My resolution is to log in over 1,000 miles this year. I plan to ride the full century at Reach the Beach, and that plus the training and another round of the MS Bike ride should get me there. Only time will tell though.
