Winter settling in

I am glad that my ride Saturday morning put me over 3000 miles for the year. Last winter I was able to ride quite a number of days, due to mild weather and a largely clear trail, but since my weekend voyage winter has arrived here with a vengeance, with pronounced cold and quite a few inches of snow. 

I am hopeful that I will get to ride a little more outside before the year is over, but I'm by no means certain of this, and do not plan to push it (or 'tempt fate') -- I'm content now with riding the stationary bike at LA Fitness until such time as it is reasonable for me to ride outside again.

As I said on Saturday, the mileage is a mild disappointment, in that I rode 3500 last year and was at one point hoping for 4000 this year. But my broken hand this summer threw a wrench into those plans ... and anyway, I am trying to convince myself, 3000 miles is not inconsiderable, and it is nothing I need to hang my head about! 😊
