I Want to Ride My Bicycle

A quick update as we slide around the long backside of summer.  The weather has been great and I’ve been having a good summer for biking.  Last Friday I took an epic ride up to Scarsdale on a combination of roads and trail, over thirteen miles.  They have some nice houses on the shore of Lake Isle.  Sunday I took a ride for twenty-six miles, which is a long as a marathon.  It was my longest ride so far this summer, and I did it in an hour and fifty minutes.  My goal is to get up to thirty miles sometime this fall.  I’ve gone over 500 miles now this season, and the only counts the rides I’ve measured.  I often forget to turn on the app or to bring my phone, especially for the shorter rides.   I’m averaging 50 or more miles a week these days, usually six days a week. So I’m probably closer or 800 miles by now.  Hoping to hit a thousand before the end of the season.
