This weekend was my biggest day in Cycling since my injury in 2005.I went to Charleston South Carolina to partcipade in the After the Bridge Run. I had orginally plan on doing a century ride but though better of it since I have not ridden the long of a ride since 2005. I settle for doing the Metric Century instead as I felt like I could do that even though I have ridden this far since 2006 when I came in almost dead last in three different long bike rides. That ended my doing long bicycle rides and slow down dramatically have much cycling I did after that.
This year led to dramactic improvements in my cycling ability and so this led to my trying to do the Metric Century ride in Charleston. I am happy tosay my average speed was pretty close to what I probably would have done before my injury. Can't say enough how good this made me feel. Hope to do some more organize cycling this year since I now have a better chance of keeping up with other cyclist. I know I can't expect to ever be as good as I was before I shatter my leg in 2005 but I am doing much better now than I had dare hope I would be.
The two picture here were took while cycling on James Island and Folly Beach before the big ride this past weekend. I did not take any pictures during the ride because I was pedaling like heck just keeping up.
