Last night, not long before midnight, I realized that I hadn't yet ridden a bike for the day. I'd had a long stretch of riding a bike each day consecutively, dating back to December 25, 2012. We spent the day driving to Albuquerque to visit family, and though I had a bike along with, I failed to muster the energy to unpack it and ride in the few minutes remaining in the day. So, the streak has come to an end at 458 days. I probably won't track consecutive days of riding again, but it was an interesting exercise in seeing how long I could go. Thanks to Tarik, whose TSBC challenge back in 2012 got me rolling, and to Scout, my riding buddy and chief motivator.
It's a nice day in Albuquerque, and we are all getting ready to go for a ride.
Wow! Great job! I don't think I ever made it more than 60 or so...
ReplyDeleteThanks. After a short while, it became integrated and automatic. In fact, it was almost impossible that I would miss a day. During the streak, my schedule has been fairly rigid and such that I rarely travel, but this trip threw me for a loop. It's been a good run.
DeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing string of riding.
No doubt Scout appreciated it.
Thanks, and yes, Scout did (and continues) to enjoy riding. I think it's a bit funny that the end of my streak came just before April, month of the 30 Days of Biking challenge. So far, I haven't missed a day of April, but I'm not really planning to keep track any more.
