    Speaking for myself, "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!"

    Nancy, what kind of mileage to you expect to have for the entire year?

    Racking up the miles

    Well, I'd be happy if I did 5,000. (Gee, that's at least across the country and a little bit back!). So far, I have plans for: Wildflower Century, Santa Rosa Century, AIDS ride century (practice ride), STP in July (206 miles), AIDS ride in June (585 mi in 7 days), Napa century in August. Haven't figured out the rest of the centuries for the year- maybe the eastern Sierra century. Past that I don't know. Depends on my work schedule and when I can get time off.

    I get a lot of the little miles in during the week- 11 miles MWTHFRI so that helps. Also when I ride with the "boys" we do fairly long rides. (see Cinderella epilogue for that one).

    Now, come on you women, I'm not the only century freak around here!

    It must be different for you Californians. Here in the Northeast, we don't get enough good days to put in that kind of mileage. Maybe if I rode in cold and wet and snow (and rain and sleet and..hey, I could be a postwoman) I could do it. I am totally in awe of all of you who put in so much time and energy. I thought I did really great by riding 1700 miles in the past year, and I'm hoping to do more this year. But 5000? Wow!

    Fasteryet, I was thinking the same exact thoughts while reading these posts. In fact I was just telling my husband (as he just brought up aol weather, rain, TH, Fri, Sat) I think we need to head out west. This has been the worst.

    ouch! Been there! back in January
    needless to say, May will be create a whole new backyard month. we hope it doesn't interrupt riding much.

    those miles are just incredible!! My goals are not nearly so lofty (and my riding season just started and will end in September or October....)

    Y'all amaze me!

    Namaste,

    Actually - as a member of the virtual RAAM team - it's 3,046 I think from San Diego to Atlantic City. And now we really DO need you to get on over to BikeJournal.com......get those miles racked up!! You wanna meet some century freaks - several of them women!!!........

    Nuthatch......We're gonna have to up the team mileage again if we can get Nancy on board!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
