My plan is to ride my bike 3 times per week. Two short after work rides during the week and a longer ride on the weekend. I did the two shorter rides this past week and a 20 mile ride today. I had originally planned to ride yesterday but it was too cold and threatening. After church today, I headed out to ride to the Lone Tree area in search of a bunch of geocaches. I found a few and missed a few and skipped a few others. I noticed how dark it was getting back towards home. The temperature had dropped from about 57 to about 48 degrees by the time I got home. As I turned onto Wildcat at its exteme east end, it started to rain and it rained all the way back home. That's about 5 miles. Needless to say, I was thoroughly soaked. It was interesting riding 33 miles per hour in the rain - a new experience for me.
My immediate goal is to get my bike mileage to 6000 miles. Right now, that is only another 25 miles. I plan on completing that in the next week. My goal for the year is to ride at least 1000 miles - 814 to go. I also have a goal to do a 50 mile ride sometime this year. I am also planning to ride at least 2 stretches of the Colorado Trail and the Indian Creek Loop. These are definitely mountain bike trails.
