A note on 2011

The best thing I did for myself in 2011 was to get back on a bicycle after not being on one for 15+ years, and after never actually being comfortable on one. I’m not going to be racing any time soon, but I now really look forward to a bike ride as part of the average weekend and even the average vacation.

Yesterday was a nice punctuation mark to that, featuring a long ride down to the ocean, a great view, and a very satisfying fish and chips.

I am definitely enjoying some time out of the office and looking forward to a great 2012- hope my friends are too. Now I just need to figure out what life improvement can trump “get back on a bike.” Suggestions welcome :)

  1. Having gotten back on a bike myself 13 years ago, I suggest that the only thing left is more bikes.

  2. How did biking become more comfortable for you? I’d like to cycle more but it makes my butt hurt like crazy. (TMI?)

  3. Take up smoking, so you can give it up?

  4. Try to use hugin with enblend and enfuse for panorama stiching to get rid of those color differences

  5. Show your mom this view in person.
