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.  : )

It's up!!!!

Hey bike fans!!!! Remember my old biking blog where I posted pics and vids of my trips? Well....I'm back! No long rides like back then. I don't think my knees can handle it, but for short rides like 16 - 20 miles out and back, I should be good for it.

Anway! At least for the first 2 - 3 weeks, I'll only be riding outdoors every other day. I have no desire to over-do it. But! The blogging will be consistent. :] So here's the link to Yo's 2008 Biking Log!

happy reading!
