Get out and ride–there will never be a better time.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

When I set out on the Battle Back to the Bike<\/a> I made a goal to ride at least 1,000 miles in my first month once I made it back. I met that goal as of Wednesday, July 4. I guess I really am back.<\/p>\n

Here’s how it went.<\/p>\n

June 7 — My first ride, to Evergreen and down Turkey Creek and then Deer Creek — 71 miles.<\/p>\n

June 8 — Up Clear Creek Canyon to the Peak-to-Peak<\/a> and down Golden Gate Canyon — 97 miles.<\/p>\n

June 10 — Up Mount Vernon Canyon, to Idaho Springs, over Squaw Pass, to Evergreen, and home — 126 miles.<\/p>\n

June 16 — The RMMRC<\/a> Pie Ride to Evergreen, Deckers, Woodland Park, Florissant, Jefferson, and back — 267 miles.<\/p>\n

June 25 — Up to Eagle — 141 miles.<\/p>\n

June 26 — Eagle to Buena Vista to Denver — 218 miles.<\/p>\n

July 3 — A run to the wine store and then to CostCo to get gas — 26 miles.<\/p>\n

July 4 — Sedalia, Palmer Lake, Castle Rock, Parker, and home –98 miles.<\/p>\n

Total: 1,044 miles.<\/p>\n
