Zboatman's Journey

When you travel a lot for work you really don’t want to travel for play, at least I don’t. But alas I needed a few more miles for my United Platinum status which I was willing to pay for. So travel it is, heading off to Hawaii for Thanksgiving. I can’t think of a better place to enjoy some free time. High’s in the low 80’s Lows in the low 70’s, wow a bit different from Texas. Here are some shots of the island.

Oahu South Shore

And of course you always need some Sunset shots to show you are really on an Island in the middle of the ocean.

Yup this is Hawaii!

someone created a statue of me surfing, thanks for the flowers.

The weather in Dallas has been really cold and it looks like rain over the weekend. Not really able to get outside and ride but have tried to be loyal to riding the Mt. Bike on my trainer.

I rode both days last weekend, and am hopeful that I can do the same this weekend. I need to ride hard on Mon & Tuesday. Wednesday I take off for Hawaii for Thanksgiving weekend and won’t get much riding in but am hopeful to do a ton of walking. Here is to a real good Mai Tai and some exercise…maybe.

Happy Thanksgiving!

As I start to look back over my riding year and try to set some goals for next year I focus on how many miles I have ridden. So here are the stats from my Garmin. I went from my old Garmin 750 edge to the new 1000. Bit of a price jump with all the accessories that were needed with three bikes. I will have to say I love this unit.

Here are my stats for the year on a graph:

Here are the totals in real numbers:

My goal for the year was 2000 miles and I was able to accomplish that and now have a track my indoor miles so I am hopeful to end the year with 2200 miles. I am looking forward to staying healthy and putting in 2500 miles in 2015!
