Just like last year I did a fair amount of riding this year. I wasn’t as successful in losing weight by riding this year, but I did enjoy myself. This year I rode a bit further than last year, but only had 2 rides of 50+ miles (and neither were over 53) and 5 organized rides again (same number as last year). I mostly rode 2 days a week (usually Tue & Sat), next year, maybe I’ll try for 3 (add Thu).
- BikeMS Central Ohio Challenge 50 miler – 52.74mi, 03:41:22, avg = 14.29mph, some rain and thunder in the middle of the course
- Pedal with Pete 47 mile route – 47.47mi, 02:57:01, avg = 16.09mph, rain for the first hour of the ride, but beat last year’s time
- Tour de Donut “Full Donut” – 30.71mi, 01:43:43, avg = 17.77mph, a race where 5 minutes gets deducted for every donut eaten, I finished 2nd in raw time in the recumbent division (4th in donut-adjusted time)
