A milestone--1650


I got a late start on the cycling season due to cold weather, but made up for it! Over 800 miles since mid May. This equates to a bunch of trips since my longest ride has been 41 miles, most of them around 20. It is almost time for a new rear tire--I have never had to buy a new bike tire before, my first time to wear the tread off. 1650+ since I bought my bike Feb 2009. Actually, the bike has traveled about 5000 miles on top of the car--Grand Junction, Cedaredge, Telluride, Seattle, Sun Valley and Glenwood Springs. So, a good share of the riding miles have been out of town.

This is not a lot of miles by some standards but for me it feel like an accomplishment.
