HNY!

Happy New Year in 2014!  It's been a great year for many things, including riding.  I've achieved my highest mileage in almost 20 years, which is since Brendan was born.  It was due to a number of reasons, including very little rain, consistent long weekend rides and of course, the gov't shutdown, which gave me plenty of free time to ride!  Whatever the reasons, I had a little over 7700 miles this year!  Below is a Strava accounting of my rides (on one chart, which is a bigger number b/c it includes all activities) and a picture of Brendan and me on a ride a couple of days before Christmas.  I actually got him out for over 50 miles in the week or so since he got home for the Christmas holiday!  Maybe with that bit of base mileage, he'll be encouraged to get out there more during this new year.  And maybe those who read this will too!
