Cycling 2012

Well, another year of cycling winding down. Having rode over 2,000 miles, my mileage was down from previous years. Although, I managed to get serious miles picked up toward the end of the year. My only event was the Tour de Pig in October. It's usually the highlight of the cycling season. Good support, great ride, and of course, Bar-b-que. Total stats for 2012: average 16.7, average heart rate: 151, total calorie burn: 108,664, average miles per ride: 37.7,  weight loss 5%, total miles: 2126. I am looking forward to 2013. My plans are to include the 3 mountain madness 47 mile route, and the Blood, Sweat, and Gears, 51 mile route, Boone, NC. See you out there!

Well, it's April, and the cycling season has started. Having ridden for 400 mile thusfar, I am eagerly ready to log many miles. My goals are not set, other than to continue to improve my performance and fitness. I hope to see my friends on the road in 2012.

Cycling in 2011 and 2012

Well, I finished the year having ridden 2304 miles. The mileage was down due to working from January to July, and mainly riding on the weekends. The desire is there to continue in 2012. I anticipate mileage drop from 2011, now that I have a job from 8-5. I hope the job last and becomes full time. I will be ok riding on weekends knowing that my responsibilities are met. I thank Rhonda for supporting me through a difficult time, and I hope I can do the same for her. 2012 will bring abundance, and I know that God has his hand in our lives. So, I'm not worried. My goal in cycling in 2012, is to do something I have not done before. Like, riding in the Blowing Rock, NC area or something that involves some climbing. I have improved in climbing and I have learned to control my breathing and heart rate. So there it goes.
