LONG Hike with Courtney. Tooled on her Specialized.
Day 365
Rode down to office in AM. After work I mounted Tony and began 1.5 hour, 24 mile rideto return a Redbox movie. The drop off isn't that far when taking a direct route, but you don't stumble upon cool looking A-frame cabins taking the direct route.
Day 366, August 31st
Final day of my year long challenge! Going into this I was feeling a bit listless turning 30 and wanting to commit to accomplish something without drastically changing my life. Riding a bicycle everyday for a year was challenging at times (weather, travel, forgetfulness) but overall it was a great reminder to make time for the things I love to do.
2015 was not a leap year, so I obviously made a mistake in my counting of the days. Unfortunately, it wasn't the only mistake I made this year. Examples I'm willing to talk about here will be cycling related. First, there were some days I did not ride a bike. 2-3 times I would get back from out of town and count a post midnight ride as the previous days. Also I can think of one example I simple forgot to ride until I was laying in bed. At 1:30 AM I jumped up and completed a loop around Monument Circle. In honesty, the most difficult part was writing a blog for no one but myself :) Though imperfect (which I never claimed to be) the year was a success!
Today's ride was on Bruce to and from work and then to Big Woods for wings (I had pizza with Court 2 days prior), beer, and a board game with some friends old and new.
As a penance for my shortcomings I will continue to ride everyday until I don't. Blogging will no longer be as important to me, but if anything interesting happens I will let you know!
