My Bicycling History

Cycling has been a consistent strand in my physical activities for the last forty years, the one that has served me the best.

Averaging about 2,500 miles a year for the past ten years, I cycle when the thermometer hits 60 (maybe 55, lately) degrees or better, rarely over 90 degrees, and even more rarely when it is raining, qualifying me as a fair weather rider.

Most of my mileage is the 15-25 mile range, usually just for exercise and sight-seeing, with my favorite 15-25 mile rides being:
- Red Mill Rd - South Westerlo - Greenville - Greenville Center - CR 67 and home
- out to Durham/Cooksburgh
- East Durham - Stone Bridge Rd Ext - Sunside - Round Top - Cairo - CR 41 and home (a stop at Hartmann's is a plus)

The big events are the century rides, listed on a different page, as are the hills we brag about climbing. And I thank the bicycling friends over the years.
