I only started tracking my riding workouts in October, but since then here are my year end numbers:
- Calories Burned: 68115
- Total Miles: 897.74
- Total Hours: 91.74
2007 saw me pull out my 12 year old Trek mountain bike out of the garage and start this crazy adventure again after a 10 year off the bike hiatus. I also purchased a road bike in October and have been logging miles on that. I guess we can go back even further to the first of the year when I purchased a used Schwinn spin bike from play it again sports. I used the spin bike to gradually work up from 10 minutes to an hour of riding time until I knew my knee was going to hold up and then pulled out the Trek. I still use the spin bike for training, I have purchased several Chris Carmichael video downloads and work out to them on the spin bike with my iPhone.
I really only had 1 bad ride of 2007, within the first week of having my new Fuji road bike while going up a slight hill in a sprint my chain broke, thus causing me to pitch forward as I was sprint out of the saddle. This caused me to go straight down and thud the street very hard. My helmet took the blunt of the hit. I ended up with a few scrapes and bruises along with a slight concussion. Luckily the bike came through with only a few scratches as well.
