Not quite as early a start as last year. I must be getting old.
I've got some catching up to do.
It turned out to be a wonderful biking season.
There were many great days for riding.
I retired from work in the fall and the biggest impediment
to biking was working too much.
That shouldn't be a problem in 2018.
