2008 Goal now in sight
Hi Everyone!

I added another 22 miles to the annual total and am now looking at the potential for making my initial goal of 5000 miles of riding in 2008 and possibly my stretch-goal of 5200 (average of 100 miles/week) by the end of December. I was having doubts as the weather turned against me in November.

YEAH!

Today was not the day to add to it. I drove through North Jersey this morning in a snowstorm.

Congrats on your 5000+ mile year. I'm trying for 2500 but my rides have become less frequent recently. More indoor than anything but I'll give it my best shot! Too much turkey and food this weekend. I need a ride!
