After buying my first new mountain bike in 11 years, and my first new road bike in 20 years, and discovering Bikejournal.com, I was ready for a great year of cycling.
That pretty much went down the pooper on May 26th, when the doctors told me not to exert myself until they find out why my blood pressure was so high.
So, while I didn't get to hammer my new high-end Cannondales as I would have liked, It did give me a chance to ride my vintage Schwinns more than I probably would have.
On the good side, I did my first group rides, with the Blackhawk Bicycle and Ski Club. I rode with them 6 times.
I started night riding (with lights) in November.
We went to Arizona and mountain biked in Flagstaff and Sedona. We also rented road bikes and mountain bikes and rode in Nevada when we were in Las Vegas in December.
