Am I getting somewhere?

Oh, to be a cat and be able to relax like this; especially after a long ride! And with a cup of hot chocolate, too.

But after this morning\’s ride, I began to wonder whether I\’ve really been making progress. AM I getting somewhere?

I pulled out the cycling journal that I began in July of last year; and looked for a ride that was roughly comparable to today\’s.

On October 22, 2017,  rode 45.10 miles; and had  a headwind of about 10 mph on the way home. My overall average speed was 12.22 mph.

Today I rode 51.20 miles; had a headwind of 12-14 mph coming home; and averaged 12.90 mph. So there\’s my answer.

I haven\’t improved as much as I would have liked to, but it\’s still progress!
