 2008... The Year In Review.
'08 was not a good year for cycling. A new house kept me too busy to ride. And record rains and flooding not only kept the local mountain bike trails muddy, but also submerged the bike path along the river. (No lunch rides.)
I did however do my first multi day event when I rode GRABAAWR in late June. The 447.73 miles I rode that week represent 29.4% of my total miles for the year!

I converted the Super V to a singlespeed in January, and bought Nokian Extreme 294 studded ice tires in December, for winter riding fun.

Hmmmm, looking at the data, I see pretty balanced road/off-road numbers... 47 road rides, 47 off-road rides. 27 Rush rides, 27 Six13 rides with an average length of ride a career high 31.73 miles per ride.

I was somehow able to record a personal best time in the FireHouse Fantasy 50 in August.
