Bike Ride 2024 #1
One of my goals this year is to ride my bike more than last year. In 2023 I rode about 320 miles. 350 would be good this year, or about 10% more.
I finally got out on my first ride of the year (I know, so late in the year) this Monday. I went about 24 miles in just over 2 hours (not counting rest stops) from my house to the Weldon Spring Trailhead on the Katy Trail and back to the Greensbottom Trailhead.
I opted to get a ride home because my knees were very sore. I definitely pushed it too far for my first ride. I wasn’t planning to go that far, but my pedal was getting loose and knew the Weldon Spring Trailhead had a public tool kit/bike station. So I was able to tighten it there and get back on the road, though it’s still messed up I think.
It was a beautiful day, in the 70s, low humidity and not super busy on the trail.

Progress: 24/350 miles or about 7%
