Marcie, that's a whole lotta miles. Amazing; I'm so impressed. Dare I ask how many miles you have for the year?

Congratulations, MB, on turning such a downer Summer around!!! I hope that's got you set up for a Fall full of all good things!
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

That's FANTASTIC!! So, on average, how many miles would you put in per ride? I'm, um, a little math challenged.

Equally impressive. Great job. I'm sorry that you've gone through some tough things this summer, but it sounds like your bike has been a source of comfort. I can relate..... Originally Posted by makbike

Personally, I don't think you should toot your horn. Nope, a simple toot won't do at all in this situation. I think you need to lean on it with your entire arm and let it rip for a good long time. All I can say is WOW!!!! GOOD GOING!!!

Great job Marcy!! What an accomplishment despite all the hurdles this summer. It takes time to get back on track after major life changes but we're here for you girl
Maybe some chocolate or bike gadget is in order to celebrate? Or BOTH!!Dar
