Last year I was 32 miles shy of reaching 2500 miles for the year. Today I reached the 2500 mile mark! I keep slowly creeping upward in the standings on bikejournal.com for the TE club. Looks like I'll make my goal of 3000 miles for the year. The weather is starting to get a bit cooler which is nice but the days are getting shorter. I need to get as many miles in as I can before I have to settle for just riding on the weekends.

Congrats!! Sure you can't get to 3,500?
I am ready for cooler weather but the shorter day trade off kind of stinks.

Oh- you're on your way. I like Amanda's idea- shoot for 3500. You've still got over 2 1/2 months left to get it.

Hey congratulations!
You should have joined the 2500 miles race on Bikejournal!Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

It is actually my goal and I just crossed 2,500 yesterday. I would love to challenge someone else to keep me pushing.

Ok, 3500 miles it is...
Aggie_Ama, you'll have to keep me up-to-date on your miles so we can push each other.
lph, I actually did sign up for the 2500 mile race on BJ but then someone had reached that goal so early that I transferred all my miles to TE.As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence." ~Benjamin Franklin
