2005
Started the year with a ride on New Year's Day, but I did not get a chance to start riding regularly until April.
Bought a new bike in late June. It is a Trek 1000c. It is called a comfort road bike. You can sit a little more upright than a real road bike, but it is much more like a classic road bike than my old one.
