History:

2007: Purchased a Trek 7.3 FX in July and started riding for the first time in a long time. Soon I was commuting to work on a regular basis.
2008: Purchased a Cannondale Capo (single speed) and fell in love. I really kicked up my commutes (50 for the season). Purchased a Cannondale Road Warrior and sold the Trek.
2009: Purchased a used Cannondale System Six. I also took my first multi-day cycling trip on M22 in upper Michigan. Commutes hit an all-time high of 75 (roughly 1/3 of all my trips to work).
2010: The year started off good. I joined the Rapid Wheelmen and started doing Time Trials on Monday nights. I participated in the National 24 Hour Challenge in June and completed 301 miles (not bad for my first time). Then on July 1st, tragedy strikes. I am in an accident that crushed my L2. I am in a brace for three months… my season is over. I sold the System Six. When the brace came off, I purchased a Cannondale CAAD 9 to celebrate (although I can’t ride it yet).
2011: Not a great year… not bad, but not great either. Managed 272 miles in the 24 hour challenge. Got some decent riding in. It’s clear my back is still an issue.
2012: Off to a good start. Cycling in March (70 degrees).
