    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!

    I know what you mean Sara, those kind of distance in terms of bicycling don't really register in my brain.

    (at first I thought your friend was going to try to BICYCLE 3,000 miles in 4 days. then I read it again)

    I'm getting brand new tires this week as a thank you gift to my bike for safely taking me all that way.

    I thought of this thread today as I logged my bikejournal miles- 2997!! I wanted to ride at least 3 miles this afternoon but the wind was making it hard to keep my CAR on the road. Maybe tomorrow I can join the 3,000 club for the first time in my cycling life.
