Well, it sure was a quiet winter, huh? Fortunately, we had no big wipe-outs on the ice this year. Also unlike 2001, I made no attempt to ride 50 miles per week this year; in fact, over the last six months I averaged a pretty steady 18 miles per week! In fact, I biked as much in three weeks last July (just before the PMC ride) as I did in the past six months, total! But now that spring's here and I have more time on my hands, expect my mileage to ramp up again, like it did last year. You'll be able to see that on my training page.

In getting ready for this year, I just had my bike in the shop for its annual overhaul, which included getting a new chain and rear cassette, since I'd worn my old chain and rear sprocket out! Then I went out and bought some new cycling gear and new tires, replacing my old hybrid tires (700x40c) with some thin tires that are better suited for road riding (700x32c).
