Closing out 2007 - results?

[withm]

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.

Sigh - it's a little after 12 noon, been raining all morning and though forecast is for on-off rain, the radar is clearing a little, so I'm heading out to see what I can pull off. Have a non-riding houseguest expected late afternoon through New Years. I explained that I might have to spend some time on the bike but it's supposed to rain tomorrow most of the day as well. I can only hope the forecast is wrong.

Monday should be rideable but chilly. I don't think I'm up for 72 miles all at once but with any luck I can still do this if I can get 30 in today.

On the other hand, my first ride for 2007 wasn't until Jan 6. So does that mean I have until Jan 5 to complete the 2500? Or, looking at it another way, If I started my fiscal bike year on Dec 29 last year, there's 61 miles that could be applied to this year - but that means my year is over now, still a little short. Hmmm.

Off to the races!
