Today is Monday March 17 2025 and last Saturday and Sunday i rode my bike.
On Saturday i rode my Mountain Bike to the single track and back and on Sunday i attempted to ride 45 miles on my road bike on my 45th birthday.
Both rides we're pretty great.
On Saturday it was a pleasant surprise when i realized i could go ride dirt singletrack, so that's what i did.
On Sunday i attempted to execute a plan i've been kicking around for a year or two, ride how many miles i am old, which is 45. i would have made it if my pedal hadn't broke at about mile 38. i could still ride good enough despite the broken pedal so i got home no problem but i was already late so i didn't have time to do the full ride. When it was all said and done i'd done 42 miles.
Wanting to do a physical effort only to have it undermined by a broken part seems like the perfect metaphor for aging... so i kind of dug the whole scene.
Next year i'm doing 46, or maybe 49 to make up for the missed 3 miles from this year.
