At 108 miles in the first week of this year, the odometer sits ever so slightly ahead of last year’s 103 at this time.  If only I could not just maintain this rate in the coming weeks and months, but better yet exceed it, my 2013 cycling mileage will far surpass that of 2012.  Then again, while a new year always seems to start strong, demands on my time– such as making a living of course– won’t always keep the miles rolling in.  If only I were getting paid to ride, the numbers would be off the charts.  In any case, it’s always good to have goals– and dreams– along with a nice view on a crisp and cloudy morning.  Strava can keep track of the rest!
