January Wrap Up, Week 3 and 4 Totals and Monthly Total

January passed in the blink of an eye.  It's been hot, cold, wet, dry.  I was lucky enough to ride with Raleigh over the weekend after almost giving up hope that he'd want to ride again.  Shanna got a new bike, a MASI Souleville Mixte.  I've stripped the Crosscheck down to the frame and almost finished building it back with some fun new parts.  More on that later...

Here are the mileage numbers.  Yawn...

Feeling pretty good.  The knee pain that I'd been struggling with seems to have resolved itself.   A little ice, higher cadence, and avoidance of the really steep hills seems to have done the trick.

Bike Notes: 
- bought new tires but haven't installed them yet.
- flats on both tires recently.  need to install new tires
- need to check the chain...  over 3000 miles on it.
