[RBW] Re: Did you have a 2018 cycling goal? Did you achieve it?

So my goal was to be more present in my life outside of cycling while still putting in miles. I will hit 6,000 miles in the next 1-2 rides but my goal was to maintain 100 miles a week without putting a strain on my personal life and I think I've done that. The last few years I've worked 40+

I have a Garmin 520 which I use with Strava. It's one of the few social media platforms I enjoy. I use the 520 for navigation with Strava's route mapping function and then use Strava to remember my rides. I really enjoy being able to go back and look at unique, memorable rides I did. I rode
