Yes it is well into 2025 and finally doing a look and review of 2024. Later then everyone else I know. Hell Yeah. However I am a firm believer that one should not be doing a year end athletic review till after December 31st.
Never before midnight New Year's Eve. And now it is well past New Year's Day can do a 2024 year review. And of course means takes longer thanks to memory issues getting in the way.
So with that in mind and knowing that there was a couple of personal little goals that achieved that never said much about as kept them to myself. As part of that let's refresh the end of 2023 which you can see in the photo the over all time riding.
Now to make things a wee bit more clear. Since started riding again Oct 19th 2022 post major knee surgery. Only focused on time spent riding and not paying attention to what mileage was. Unlike everyone else I knew.
The goal sort of set for 2024 was to ride 100 hours more then did in 2023. Now it wasn't a it must be met goal or else. It was just thought of and if it happened it would be something achieved. Reality is what was more important was the time just riding.
2023 rode for 439 hours and 47 minutes
2024 rode for 548 hours and 31 minutes
In the end achieved the goal of riding for 100 hours more in 2024. Sure feel and felt good to have done it was glad to have it done. And while some would say ok now aim for more hours. I have no desire to do that in 2025. I proved a point mostly to myself and rather look at other challenges to do in 2025 now.
Also achieved two other things in 2024. The first being 731 days of riding since returning to riding from major knee surgery.
731 Day's Of Riding- Arney Mtn Oct 19th 2024
And the second was the calendar years of rides without a break.
2 Calendar Years- Another Quiet Streak- December 31st 2024
So a couple of other goals or maybe challenges achieved in 2025. Though it isn't just about numbers and such. If one is reviewing the year that should include rides that sort of stand out.
The night ride in October in the Backyard Trails where was able to watch the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis from the trails within Kingston Town limits.

And of course the big adventure ride that started in Sharbot Lake using a completely new route to me. And also gave me some ideas for the 29er future parts changes.
Trans Can and Bell Line Rd Loop- Sharbot Lake Sept 30th 2024
In 2024 was a better year as did some fun good rides as well as rode somewhere new as well as bagged a new to me peak while revisiting a few old one's. And definitely achieved the goal of riding a 100 hours more in 2024 tough as mentioned before have no desire to attempt to do more around that. Feel good about the year overall and look forward to working on different goals and trips in 2025. Especially a couple of adventures haven't completed yet and am working on making happen this year.
