Looking Back at 2024

Despite some waning enthusiasm for cycling, I managed to pedal more than 2,930 miles and climb some 115,000 feet along the way. More rides (99), more distance, and more elevation gain than I completed in either of the past two years. And I happily reconnected with some of my favorite places to ride.

My annual fundraising adventure involved cycling from Healdsburg to Santa Cruz over the course of three days.

I visited Davis for the first time (to bike, what else?!) and boarded a plane for the first time since The Before Times.

I fit in 58 hikes, mostly with friends, walking more than 262 miles in places new and not, and did my share of citizen science as a member of the iNaturalist community.

I donated 22 hours of my time as a volunteer for various causes. [I can do better.]

A new year starts ... tomorrow.
