Things have been quiet on the cycling front.

The one item worth noting is that I had hoped to surpass my December monthly mileage record, which stood at 127 miles. My goal was actually 175 or 200 miles.

Thanks to favorable weather, I was already at 111 miles on December 4th. However, I only managed another 40 miles during the rest of the month. So the new record sits at 151. That’s okay; it’ll give me something to shoot for next year.

With that, we swap tires and clamp the bike into the indoor trainer, where it’ll stay until the end of March, most likely.

Although I’ll start using the trainer soon, I don’t plan on actually ramping up my training until March, anyways. I figure I deserve a good break after last year’s 4,000-mile season.

But I’m looking forward to receiving the 2009 Pan-Mass Challenge yearbook, and registering for my tenth PMC ride on Tuesday!
