What a month!

To say February was a good month would be an understatement. It's hard to believe that its been less than a year from when I really got my motivation back and got back on the bike and started to ride like I did 10+ years ago.

While the weather hasn't been "postcard perfect" for the full month, its been good enough to ride most days. Of the 28 days, I managed to ride 23 of them!

Its also the first month that I've logged over 1,000 miles! For February, I managed to ride

1,022 miles!

A big ol' well deserved pat on the back for me!

Here's a few photos of things I saw during the month:

Good job!

Predictably, you don't live in the Mid-Atlantic area where we've had record snow fall and blizzards in February. I still managed 2,005 miles for January and Feb.

Great job! One of my goals this year is to ride 1000 miles in one month. I will try it after DST starts.

Don't focus on the big numbers, focus on how you feel, and what you can ride that day. It adds up quick!

Funny I don't see any snow in those pictures, therefore it's picture perfect to my eyes.

I'm more impressed you saw other cyclist. I haven't seen any in a while where I'm at. I guess I don't expect to see much out in the cold, wet, snow, or the nor'easter we've just experienced (Wussies).

Congratulations and be thankful every once in a while to where you guys live.
