2008 Biking Reflections
2008 had many biking highlights:
- most miles in a year – 5,131. Previous high was 5,030 (1999).
- updated the look of Texbiker.net. WordPress is the engine that drives Texbiker.net. In March I attended WordCamp Dallas. WordCamp gave me many ideas on how to enhance the blog.
- 4,514 miles on my road bike, Mercier.
- 617 miles on my mountain bike.
- rode 146 days on my road bike.
- rode 40 days on my mountain bike.
- average miles per ride: 25.91.
- Added a set of Bontrager wheels which seem to have added a little speed to my road riding. Bought these at the Hotter’n Hell Hundred in Wichita Falls.
- Rode the 75 mile route at the HHH and this year I stopped and shook the hands of a number of airmen thanking them for their service.
- Most touching moment at a ride: the T38 jets flying up Scott Street in formation at the HHH start line.
