A few stats:
- I biked in 5 states: Florida, Minnesota, Kansas, Michigan, and Indiana
- Times I was almost hit by a deer: 1
- I set a new PDR of 70 miles.
- I biked approximately 600 miles outside this summer.
- I had countless moments of feeling truly thankful for everything that biking has given to me.
- I biked through water for the first time in my “flooded bike ride“.
One of the things I most love about biking is that I get to travel so many miles and get an up front view to the beautiful nature that’s around me.

Here are a few notable rides:
Exploring New Roads (I got a lot more comfortable this summer in exploring new areas on my bike)
I think I’ve hit a place where I’m comfortable in knowing what I need to bring while on my bike, and I’m comfortable with being gone for 5+ hours biking. I’ve relaxed this season in a way that I hadn’t relaxed on my bike last year, and I loved exploring all sorts of new routes.
I’m thankful to have gotten to spend so many hours on my bike this summer, and I’m thankful for the strength I developed. Biking has been a great cross training activity for me, and has made me a much stronger runner as well. Ultimately I’m thankful for another season of safety on the road- I don’t ever want to take that for granted.
Now it’s back to my indoor season and bike trainer riding. I miss the feel of the wind on my face and the beautiful nature around me, but I love getting to read while biking… and watching Hallmark movies doesn’t hurt either 🙂
Yes, not being outdoors stinks, but Netflix is awesome.
Absolutely! Both my indoor and outdoor seasons have things I love and things I miss about the other season. I think that’s a good place to be!
