Bike update

I hit 1,000 miles on my new bike, which I got in October...so I'm averaging about 200 miles a month. Not bad for me in the winter.

This was on the way back from Hygiene on Sunday. We had our St. Pat's Party the night before...and I still got my 40 miles in. I've been doing the Hygiene run a lot the distance is good for me and I can knock it out in three hours, with a short rest stop at Mary's in Hygiene.


The route is mostly north/south so the westerly winds don't factor into the ride much... although it seems they shift to head winds from time to time.
