I have to say that 2007 was a tremendous cycling season for me.  I didn't really have any goals in mind other that "I want to ride more".  But thanks to a flexible work schedule and the ability to crawl out of bed at 4am on a regular basis, I was able meet that goal.  In 2006 I rode 2,304.26 miles in 92 rides.  My 2007 season included a century ride for the first time since 1998.  And it ended this past Sunday with a 32 mile jaunt outside.  It's pretty rare that I get to ride outside in December, so this was wonderful.  After cutting down my riding in early December, with a lot of support from my wife and a desire to push my highest ever yearly total even higher, I pushed hard for the last 3 days and finished 2007 with 3608.40 in 135 rides.  Thus I'm a happy camper and I'm inspired to set some goals and do even more in 2008…
