So you made your goal! Bravo!

I still have about 110 miles to make mine

actually, I've got set on BikeJournal at 7000. That was before my episodes of FallingOffTheBikeItis. I'm thinking 6500. I'm going to visit my family and Missouri next weekend, and it is rainy season here (yes, it does rain in Southern California)

I'm still trying to figure how to ride in the cold. My hands ,and feet freeze ,and it was only 35 degrees. It was Ok on Saturday ,so I rode about 15 miles. I'm trying to alternate running ,and riding till it gets warmer ,and I get my bike that actually fits me. My husbands bike is Ok for now ,but its too big for me. What's the best way to keep my hands warm (what kind of glove should I get?????

read my post above (first one)
I wore two pairs of gloves, regular bike gloves and then a larger size of fleece gloves on top.
my hands were not cold. Also get booties for your feet. You will really like what they do for keeping you warm!
i also wore 3 thermal layers on my trunk plus the raincoat.

Short 14-mile jaunt in 75 degree weather on Saturday. Very nice and relaxing except for the terrific headwind for about 6 miles of the loop. My DH and I had a nice time and got away from the visitors for an hour or so.

We've had out-of-town guests two out of the last three week ends. All the cooking, etc. have interferred with my cycling.

Earlier in the week I went out by myself and was less than 1/2 mile away when I had my first blowout/flat. Got to change my first tire -- felt so proud!

I was 60 miles short of having 6000 miles for the year...

I'm thinking that with goals like that, you can afford to indulge that addiction to Cheez-its...
