I just found your thread Lisa! Congrats! 3,000 miles is AWESOME!!! A friend of mine left today (not on his bike...in his car) to go to Canada. His round trip mileage will be about 3,000 miles and it's going to take him 2 days each direction. That sounds like a long road trip to me. But then to think you've ridden you bicycle that far! It's really pretty amazing, isn't it? I'm just shy of 2,500 myself and I am in complete shock that I've ridden that far in the 8 months I've had my bike!
