Two thirds of the way through 30 Days of Biking! How are you guys doing so far? Here’s a quick status update for days 11 through 20 for me: Day 11 was a quick pedal with the dogs and warm enough for just a jersey! Day 12 was a tech fail.

Here’s a quick rundown of how the first 10 days have gone so far… Day one was still pretty wet and muddy. Luckily our mud is pretty loamy so it just washes right off: Day two was another wet and miserable day. I was feeling lazy so it was just a quick pedal on the trainer before bed. Hey, it all counts!
