This year's "Summer of Biking" kicked off unofficially this weekend and I could not be happier about the results.
While the official kick-off to my regular biking schedule is in two weeks, two days of fantastic summer-like weather allowed me to put 31.6 miles on my bike this weekend.
Saturday was off to a rough start. My bike came out of storage this week but suffered from some mechanical problems which I addressed with the help of YouTube. After the necessary repairs, I set out on my first ride, which took me along my favorite route from 2011: through downtown Perrysburg, over the Maumee River, through Side Cut Metropark, down River Road, over U.S. 24, and out to Fallen Timbers Mall. Fourteen miles in total, round trip. I ended the ride just as I did many others last year: at O-Deer Diner in downtown Perrysburg. For me, yesterday was a huge reminder of just how awesome 2011 was.
I ended the day with a second, shorter bike ride in Bowling Green and ultimately ended the night with video games and the entire second season of "The Walking Dead." Oh yeah, fantastic show. Enough said.
Today started with more biking, a relatively-short 12-mile jaunt through Side Cut again. All told, I pushed enough miles this weekend to get me on the right track to a healthy, prosperous 2012.
B3 out.
