Agreed on both counts - 5-10 Freeriders are amazing shoes, and get well soon OldCruiser

Just made 100

Between work and weather, it was a challenge but I squeaked out 100. Will do better next month.

Damp and cloudy here, but rain is in the forecast through the last few days of April, so I took a window of opportunity to ride and get my April goal of 250 miles.

April to date: 252.1 miles - FINAL for April - made my goal on 4/28 and then it rained the last two days of the month.

2023 total to date: 861.8 miles
2023 Goal: 2,000 miles

All my miles are outdoor miles.

Nice afternoon. My biking friend and I were going to ride the cart paths again , but i suggested we ride to town and I’d buy us an ice cream. He took me up on it . It was only a little over eight miles so I rode around the neighborhood solo for a few minutes to cool down.
going to make that hundred!

Ah, the best-laid plans. Actually, these plans weren't all that well laid. Too much going on this month and not enough motivation, the latter has been my fault. Got a new job starting Wednesday, which would seem a great way to add miles, but it's only 6 blocks from home, so I'll be walking to work. Hopefully May will be better.
