Thirty


I wanted Patty along on #30, and she was.



Part ride, part victory lap.  I thought it appropriate that it should end where it started.



In summary, I did an underwhelming 177 miles over the 30 days. If mileage had been the goal of this challenge, I would be too embarrassed to even tell you that. But it wasn't. May is for mileage.  April was about riding a little bit every day, and testing my back out without overdoing it, and getting joints and tendons and ligaments and muscles moving in a bike-ish fashion.  Getting tires aired up and brakes and derailleurs adjusted. Working out some load-carrying details. And getting my head into the habit of taking the bike. And tons of camera practice. And being responsible to you bastards to post something about it all. Every. Single. Damn. Day.

Mission accomplished.  Thanks for following along.

Here's to thirtydaysofbiking then.

Thanks, Tom. For someone of your riding prowess, my efforts were child's play, but for where I'm at, it's been pretty cool to just get back on the bike again and make riding a part of every day.
