2011 was unusually dry between August - December. So, my bicycling season continued into late November, when it got too dark for my bicycle commuting. I paused my gardening & biking, and sang in 2 choirs this Fall & Winter. Here are some statistics and commentary about my bicycling year:
"2011"
--> Best scenery: Jaye Cooke State Park, Duluth MN
--> Best outdoor sounds: Birds at Cannon Valley bike trail, Red Wing, with Fr Denny & group.
--> Fun purchase for biking: January 1 signup for MN Ironman. (But, see "rainy" note below!)
--> Hottest day?
--> Rainiest day? On May 1, WE HAD WINDY, RAINY 38 degree day, so I had to cancel '2011 Ironman. :(
And all of May'2011 was wet and rainy. We waited and waited...
--> Number of flat tires? 0
--> Roadside bungee cords? 8 sighted, 3 collected.
--> Creative repair: Jean sewed my red saddlebag... torn from carrying my Travelers Insurance laptop!
--> Best downhill: Jaye Cooke hills
--> YTD mileage: 850 miles. Mostly commuting, and Northfield trips.
