2014 Mileage

The days of decent riding opportunities for 2014 are now in the past, as winter has settled in throughout western North Dakota.  My final ride of the year occurred last Sunday, with a short loop in Bismarck to retrieve groceries and office supplies on my singlespeed mountain bike.  It was good to get out, as time on the bike has been severely limited since September’s brevet.

The ride summary for the year is modest, with the cumulative mileage and time impacted by new family responsibilities since March.  My commuting and road riding were especially disappointing, though the latter has been on a downward trend since 2011.  Accordingly, it may be time to release the Roubaix to someone more interested in road riding/racing.  It is an excellent bike, and deserves to be ridden.

Problems with my knee continue, suggesting a serious injury.  I have visits to the physical therapist and orthopedic surgeon scheduled for early next month.  I’ll share relevant outcomes in my December post.  In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving!
