In the month of April I made the pledge for the 30 Days of Biking, and ….
I failed.
I rode 22 out of 30 days, ironically with the days I missed falling almost entirely on weekends (plus a Friday when law enforcement asked us to “shelter in place”). In fact, I didn’t ride on a single Saturday in the month of April, although there was one day I did help my five year-old son learn to ride with training wheels for the first time. Then he got more interested in practicing baseball than biking again, but I will work on him over the summer. I can’t let the kids keep me so busy I have no time to ride, after all.
So here are my stats for April.
