What's It All About?

Follow me, or better yet join me as I journey into my sixties... enjoying my grandchildren... trying to stay healthy and fit... maybe some traveling and whatever else tickles my fancy.

Hot Fun In The Summertime

It's creeping up to the 90's again, but I got my ride in already... 21 miles today, not all out and not too leisurely, just a nice enjoyable ride... there's a chance of thunderstorms tonight and tomorrow morning so that might keep me from this weeks sunrise ride... I'll be tracking the forecast all night.

I forgot to check my standings on Bikejournal.com before my ride, so I had no idea how many miles I needed to move up in the rankings... I'm rapidly closing in on being in the top 3,000 out of 5,000+ riders that track their mileage on that site... and I'm trying to get into the top 50 of about 100 New York riders that log in their miles there... right now I'm 64th and about 170 miles away from  #49.

Of course these rankings mean nothing and they aren't even verified, I just use them strictly for motivation... for example: If I'm planning a 16 mile ride and see that the guy or girl above me is only ahead by 19 miles I might add 4 miles to my ride just to pass him or her and move up a ranking... it might be silly but it works.
