WOW. It doesn’t feel like I did all that! I just checked Ascent and realized those are my final numbers for 2009. More than double what I did in 2008. I am still kind of in shock. When I scanned back through the year I also discovered that many of my rides were missing. So, it looks like the real numbers would be a little higher. Bike riding has changed my life in so many ways. My health has improved drastically, I have met so many amazing people, I treat my body like a temple and not a trash can now and I have a much more positive view on life. I can’t thank everyone who has been on this amazing journey with me enough. Thank you for pushing me, encouraging me, picking me up when I fall, riding with me, teaching me and caring. I can only hope 2010 is just as much fun!
The bike that started it all. My old Stumpy.

Had to go snap a year end pic to put up against one from 2006 right before I bought the Stumpy. What started off as a way to lose weight has turned into a way of life for me. I couldn’t be happier.
This post is also dedicated to all my non-bike friends and family. You were there just as much for me. I can only hope you gained as much from me as I did from you. Thank you so much!
