Ryan: You did a lot of neat stuff. With miles, it's the quality, not the quantity. The "best" rider is the one having the most fun. Right now that may be your six year old!
I've got to thank David for instigating the SoCal Riv group. Great group & rides in interesting places. On more than one occassion, some has remarked that one of the best things about the group is how we take our time, take photos, & generally enjoy the experience without worrying about mileages, speeds, etc. My computer fell off my bike on the first day of my last tour of 09. I don't miss it. Will probably replace it next time I do a tour requiring tracking distance between points....or maybe not. Mileposts are pretty reliable. dougP On Jan 3, 10:39 am, RoadieRyan <rya...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Yesterday when I was starting my ride I was thinking about the goals > for 2010 thread and my first thought was that I was disappointed in my > lack of miles in 2009 and wanted to do more in 2010.
