I did my final ride of the year this evening after work, joining Mark Metcalfe for 25 miles on the Joe Pool dam.

I ended up with 169 rides this year for 6,708 miles. That’s an average of 129 miles a week. This is in spite of the fact that I was recovering from lung surgery in January, and doing chemo from February to April. All in all, a good riding year, I’m thinking. My recovery has come a long ways.
