Mileage Record

First, check out the movie that McT made using a pirated picture of me to commemorate the Bogus Basin Hill Climb. :)

This week had a few firsts: for instance Monday was my first time up Pump Rd (steep!) and yesterday I had three tire punctures in one commute. Also, I passed 4000 miles on the year this week - first time for that. Last year didn't even see 3K. And with yesterday's ride on the dump loop and commutes, I've got a little over 4070. And there's an STP ride a little later this morning that'll put me tantalizingly close to, if not over, 4100. So what's all this mean? Not a whole lot unless you're me. And I'm me so I'm gonna make a big deal out of it.

I've been eyeing the 5K mile mark for some time now but haven't quite felt confident enough in my ability to reach it so didn't really say much. But now, after actually taking the time to do some math, I'm going for it. 900 more miles before the year's end is very doable so long as the weather cooperates. Five thousandth mile, here I come. In fact, 5300 miles - still achievable - would double last year's mileage. Okay I gotsta start preparing for STP . . .
