B1.4971K is over!

Well, my biking season is officially over, and the final tally after today's birthday ride (finished in the rain, of course) is 1,497.1 miles. Not a bad mark, even if it's not two grand. Here are some stats:

Days in the season: 186
Days with riding: 97
Total rides: 112
Longest sequence of riding days: 8 (6/30 - 7/7)
Longest sequence of idle days: 9 (9/24 - 10/2)

Average length of ride: 13.4 miles
Average speed: 13.1 mph
Longest ride: 32.6 miles
Highest sustained speed: 15.7 mph average over 15.4 miles

Some things I learned:

Round wheels roll better than flattened ones (I might need new wheels)
Long rides to work are more attractive than short rides to nowhere
Riding in the rain is not as much fun as riding in the sunshine
Hills are steeper in April than in September
