One year ago, I took up cycling. I could not have predicted
that I would still be at it, 365 days later. I would have been
dumbfounded if someone had said I would ride over 2,500 miles in that first
year, but that's what I did. Today's ride put me at 2,504 miles for the year.

This is where it all began: http://www.pbase.com/digitalgee/image/45153076

I have never been athletic in my life. I've never stuck with a fitness
program for very long. But this was fun, and that made all the difference.

This accomplishment is easily part of my personal Top Ten over the course
of my life. As I post this, I am both astonished and proud. :-)
