4000 miles ahead

it's official. i am more than 4000 miles ahead of last year's mileage at this point in the year. my current total is 5893.89. last year on this same date, i was at 1877.88 miles. crazy! even crazier...that 4000 miles i'm ahead is more miles than i ended up with at the end of 2009.

in addition, i'm just over 100 miles away from reaching my updated mileage goal for the year. i started the year with a goal of riding 4020 miles, twice the year. when i reached that goal in june, i upped it to 6030 thinking i didn't want to burn myself out reaching for 8040. now i'm going to hit the 6030 mark before three quarters of the year is over. i'll have to update the goal again. i'm not going to do that, though, until i've met this goal. i'll celebrate with a bowl of ice cream and then keep rolling toward something higher.

why mention all this today? well, there's not much to report on my actual ride. it was a pretty dull recovery ride. the only excitement came when i realized five miles out that i hadn't turned on my taillight. that was a bit scary. the second minivan buzzing was what clued me in to the fact.

other than that, i rode out. i rode back. yippee. (16.09 miles @ 16.8mph
