2400 miles
On the ride home today, i’ll pass 2400 miles for the year. It’s most probably my highest mileage year ever, definitely the most miles since i’ve been keeping track. I’ve had a bike computer for many years now, but never used it beyond the current ride, and so never logged anything. Other years of exuberant and commitment-free youth may have racked up more miles, but this is the first time i can actually show it.
Winter here has been coming in on a weather rollercoaster. One week it’s deliriously warm, the next is bitter cold. The cycle has been getting steadily colder, but again this week, we’re back into the mid-40s, which seems odd for mid-December. A white christmas doesn’t seem that likely - the odds of getting out for a nice road ride seem better. Thanks(?) global warming!
