Thanks everyone.

Silver, I hope some day to be able to put in the kind of miles you do. That's good advice about riding with joy. I hope riding never becomes a chore. I enjoy it so much right now.

You were. I've read about all the great rides you've done and all the cool things/places you've seen. And I've seen your miles add up on bikejournal.

I'm not sure what to do about goals for next year. I'm not sure I'll even set one in terms of miles. I really think that I'd just like to focus on getting faster/stronger on the group rides. I don't want to be left behind on every little hill that comes along. I need to try to focus on actually "training." Which means intervals. I just don't want to make riding "work." But, if I want to get faster I'm going to HAVE to work at it, right?
