I did my first bike rally 16 years ago today, in Seagoville, Texas. See here. I had been riding for many years, but this was my first organized event. It was great fun. This past Saturday, I did my 366th bike rally (in Crowley). That's an average of 22.8 rallies per year. I expect to have 26 rallies before 2005 is over. My best year was 1990, when I did 31 rallies. Say what you will about Texas: There's no better place for bicycling.
