I first started writing about riding as part of a personal project I had in 2013 called A Year of Centuries. For this project I rode one century (100-mile ride) each month on behalf of 12 different charities. It was a way for me to express my gratitude for the recovery I had following a serious crash in a bicycle race the previous year. During A Year of Centuries, I rode my bicycle in all kinds of beautiful places around Georgia, and I met so many terrific people through the charities that I focused on. I thoroughly enjoyed documenting everything through blogging. When it was over, however, that was it. A Year of Centuries was one of the best experiences of my life, but I purposely set it up to have a definite beginning and ending.
I've missed writing about riding! Although I've written a few things about my cycling adventures in recent months, it hasn't been anything regular. That's what spurred me to start this new blog. For completeness (and in case I want to reminisce in the nursing home), my blogs over the next few days will be the miscellaneous ramblings that I have written thus far in 2014.
