Last night marked day two on the trainer.  Forty-nine more minutes passed going nowhere.  That’s 49 minutes of stationary thinking.  Since it’s January, my thoughts naturally drifted to 2008 resolutions. 

I resolve to ride 2008 miles in 2008. 

What exactly does that mean?  It means an average of 168 miles a month.  It means riding a combination of my stationary trainer, road bike, mountain bike and neighborhood commuter.  It means less time in the car – and on the couch – and more time in the saddle. 

The resolution also means at least one century…or so I decided.  As a diabetic, this naturally means the annual Tour de Cure Colorado in August.  Expect more on this later. 

Where do I stand after two nights on the trainer?  Mileage to date stands at 24.5.  Only 1983.5 miles to go.
