Oh Withm I've been rooting for you! Partly because you're so close that I'd hate to see you miss it, and partly because I'm not going to make my 2500 mile goal and I figured maybe I could try to have the highest mileage of those who did not make it.

I was well on my way to making my 2500 mile goal but had to cut back riding for two months because of injury. At that point, I accepted I wouldn't make it this year but I feel great about what I have accomplished.

• I beat my 2006 mileage by 700 km.
• I climbed to the top of Knox Mountain without stopping.
• I did my first organized metric in 3:45.
• I did my first full century (unsupported) which included over 5700 feet of climbing.
• I cycled about 375km in Provence, France on my honeymoon in July!
• I had many new personal bests for speed and climbing times.
• And most importantly, I had a ton of fun riding!!
