What a beautiful month we had for riding in November! Ironically, I have ridden every weekend since my "end of season" ride as we were blessed with perfect weather each weekend for another bonus ride! That will come to screeching halt as we are full swing into celebrating the Christmas season. Rob did not get in many miles this month as he had to serve on a jury for a Federal criminal case that ended up going for 13 days in Hartford. The change of schedule made riding nearly impossible for him, although he squeaked in a couple of rides at new (to him) venues.
Our mileage: 150.45 miles
Rob rode 64.81 miles in the woods.
Cori rode 85.64 miles on the road.
Harry took this month off and did not log any miles.
Random Stats:
# of races: Zero. Phew. Sometimes it is nice to just ride without the pressure of racing.
# of states ridden in: 3 - we were faithful to the old standbys (CT, MA and RI).
# of new trail systems explored: 2 (West Hartford and Nathan Hale Homestead).
# of bike commutes: Zero. I got a new job this month, so Rob and I are no longer able to carpool. This will drastically reduce any chances of bike commuting. Sadly.
# of flat tires: None that I know of. I guess that it is the benefit of not riding often. No mechanical issues either.
Coming in December:
-a most definite drop in mileage!
-a festive post on a fun holiday biking tradition at the Paton household.
-the history of "the box."
-a trail review or 2 from Rob.
Have a great holiday season!!!
