Yesterday, October 27, I hit 400 miles for October. No big deal; I've ridden at least that far every month this year.
Today, October 28, I hit 5000 miles for the calendar year. A little bigger deal. (2009 is the 17th year I've ridden at least 5000 miles... and the 7th consecutive year.)
Yesterday I also hit 130,000 cumulative miles, since I started keeping track in 1986. I s'pose that makes me either "fairly unique" or "freakish," depending on point of view. I've sure enjoyed most of those miles!
When I rolled over 100,000 miles back on September 1, 2004, I speculated on whether I'd ever hit 200,000. It seemed a LONG way off. Still does, but not quite so far now. Maybe I can do this thing, if I stay healthy and exercise due care.
Tireless advocate for the most efficient form of
human transportation ever devised - bicycles!

Were the 400 miles on the clunker? When do we get to see the shiny new bike?
Indeed, Clancy... my last 450+ miles have been on the clunker.
I'm wondering myself when the shiny new bike will show. I've got a call in to them. (It was supposed to be "around the end of the month." We're not going to get a whole lot closer.)
Congrats! All major milestones. If you were a car, you'd probably be in the clunker department now, but I'm guessing you're doing better under the hood than most of your model year.
