The Return of Bent Rex!

With Scooter Rex down and in the repair shop, I've had to pull Bent Rex out again.  I've avoided him like the plague because of my right knee being blown out and still giving me problems from a couple years ago when I was nearly taken down by 3 dogs hell bent on killing me.

But now, I don't really have a choice but put the ol' guy back in action.  Out of curiosity today, I decided to pull up my old records from bikejournal.com and see what my best year was and figure out how many miles I've ridden.

2005 - 1,057.57 miles
2006 - 465.86
2008 - 28
2011 - 10.60

Total:  1,562.03 miles  (That's almost as many as I have on Scooter Rex.)

The missing years are ones where I either didn't feel good due to Dystonia or my right knee was too squishy to ride with or the dogs got the best of me and I just didn't see the point in being eaten alive.

What surprised me by the figures was how many miles I managed to pull of in 2005 when I didn't feel all that great.  Can't wait to see what I can do in 2011 or what's left of it.  : )

LOL I think we've gotten so caught up in posting bits and pieces on facebook that regular blogging has almost been forgotten. I miss blogging, so I'm back. : )

When did you send the picture? Here lately? (she asks as she has yet to check gmail)

I only check gmail about once a month, which is probably why AVON stay a bit perturbed with me. LOL Start using jeffspress@lavabit.com and I'll definitely see stuff.
