Now, really it's pretty obvious for some members here, others know the chick is using her distance/speed odometer.

I've been cycling regularily for past 15 yrs. During first 6 years of returning to cycling at 32 yrs., an odometer helped me alot to improve my cycling and motivate me to go farther in 1 day. I was a mileage junkie and kept a daily cycling journal, noting mileage of day and anything I felt/saw during ride. THose journals do make interesting reading now...for myself.

Then I dropped off and now haven't installed my odometer for past few years. It's ok...I can estimate what my mileage is monthly, annually since local cycling consists of several regular routes and....my partner is a mileage freak, so I know what we do on out-of-town rides. I'm not a racer. Focus is on fitness, pleasurance and distance endurance....no matter how long it takes on that day.

It's just an achievement and sheer pleasure right now in life to cycle regularily given my schedule. Maybe later I'll get the odometer back on...


And you?
