Look Ma, I’m Number One!

I participate in the National Bike Challenge (US) every year through Endomondo.  Last year I came in first for Michigan in September but this year the competition was a lot tougher…  I managed top 20 for much of this summer but was all the way up to 32 in June (out of 267 participants).  This summer, between work and weather, I just couldn’t put the miles in that I did last summer.  That said, I started moving up toward the end of summer:  11th in August and 8th in September (work eased and century season arrived in Michigan).
