We really fell short on the number of outside rides in 2015. My health was good and the weather wasn't bad, but we spent a lot of time getting the house ready to sell and that really cut into our cycling activity during May and June.
The monthy data in table form:
We took our bikes on vacation and were really looking forward to riding the Dutchess Rail Trail again in 2015, but the weather didn't cooperate and we didn't get any rides in.
The two longest rides of 2015 were about 20 miles each and both were on new-to-us sections of the Erie Canal Towpath. The first was from Sweden-Walker Road to the Trailside Bicycles in Hulbertson and back. Previously, the furthest west we had been on the trail was Holley.
The second was from Genesee Valley Park to Bushnell's Basin and back. The furthest east we had ridden together was to Lock 33 in Henrietta.
I got a new Selle Italia Flite 1990 saddle, Zelma got new shoes and a couple pairs of sunglasses for her birthday, and Olivia got a new bike for Christmas. Also added cable cutters and a JIS screwdriver to the tool inventory. We added various new shorts and jerseys in 2015 including Cycle the Erie Canal jerseys from New York Parks and Trails and made by Voler.
For 2016, the goal is a more reasonable 3,660 total miles, or an average of 10 miles every day for the leap year. It would also be nice to get the outside rides to over 100 for the year. Also, have identified some rides of 18 to 25 miles on more new-to-us sections of the canal path for the coming year.
Keep Moving
