I'm in, now who's coming with me?

Ride a bike every day in April?  Easy enough, until we get five inches of snow some time mid-April:

30 Days of Biking

Improving the Current Ratio

I've mentioned before that in an ideal world, my miles biked per week would equal or exceed my hours worked per week. This is a pretty good metric for my well-being and satisfaction, and is measured as follows:

Current Ratio = Miles biked / Hours worked

I logged 85 miles for the past week, and I guarantee you I didn't work 85 hours.  Things are looking good these days, although this coming week's forecast says rain for the weekend so we'll see if I can keep a good thing going or not.

Fresh Start

Things have been warming up around here, so last weekend I jumped on the bike for a weekend ride and noticed that my bike computer wasn't working. Turns out the battery was completely dead so I replaced it, but it wiped out my mileage history. It's definitely a punch in the gut to the accounting nerd in my that gets some joy out of tallying up the miles, but at least this way I'll have a clean canvas to track my 2012 miles, starting with the 50 I rode this weekend. Sometimes starting fresh can be a good thing, I guess.
