Wild- I was about to post that I had reached my 1,000 mile mark for 2007 just today, and here was the thread on it waiting already!

On this date last year I had not even sat on a bike in 38 years!!!!!! Since then I have ridden several thousand miles. I find it hard to believe how much I have been able to do in one year.
Biking is the absolute best.

I am nowhere near you high milage gals I ride only on weekends and 2 spin classes during weekdays. So not counting my indoor miles I am near 400 miles so far I wish I could ride my bike on weekdays too but it's just impossible with my schedule and all.

Lisa, same here! I got back on a bike for the first time in about 20 years last June. If I recall, my first ride was 7 miles long. And I crashed. Since March 11th, I've ridden about 1200 miles for the year and am doing my first century (at least that's the plan) over Memorial Day weekend.

My whole life has changed because of cycling. It's amazing what can happen in 12 months' time. Yay for all of us!!!!!

Indy and Lisa - way to go! My first year back on the bike, 2005, I didn't even reach 1000 miles - 700 and something - so you two are doing fantastic!! Indy does more longer rides so I'm sure she'll crush me by the end of the year. I'm still trying to figure out when I can do my first tour of the year...other things just keep getting in the way.

There will be no "crushing." Virtual hugs and cheers for sure, but no crushing.

The only person I'm intent on beating mileage-wise this year is my ex-boyfriend. He and I are still friends and have a friendly mileage competition going via Bikejournal. He'll likely beat me in the end, but the fact that I'm ahead by about 70 miles now is sweet. Of course, he's faster, can climb on a double, and is also training for a tri, but we're ignoring those finer details.

This must be the magic week! I'll go over 1000 miles tonight. Finally! bikerHen
