Celebrating 10,000 Miles

**kfergos** · 01-30-2009, 12:08 PM

Since September 2007, I have ridden 10,000 miles. I'm trying to think of a fun way to commemorate this occasion. Any creative ideas?

congrats, I was all proud of myself that since June, when I bought a cateye, I had gone 1000k...but 10,000miles, I am a long way off. Very cool!
Maybe buy yourself a new cyclocomputer

If you love the bike you have, get it striped! Some decorative paint to celebrate, maybe your name and the dates you started/hit 10,000 on?

Congrats! Well done!

Ice Cream, for sure! And a special bath for your bike

Wow. Awesome! Congrats...

Hmmm...

My goodness, that's almost 670 miles per month!

How do you get the time, I struggle to get in 100 miles per month.

Anyway a MASSIVE big congrats, it's amazing.

So, have you decided what to get or give yourself?

Now THAT's a good idea! How many miles do saddles last, generally? I haven't noticed any serious degradation (except for cosmetic wearing of decals), but then I don't remember how it felt 5,000 miles ago, either...

Actually this is only 19-ish miles a day, or about 150 miles a month for 17 months. I ride 110 to 130 miles a week commuting (that's 13 miles each way, ~9 times a week, or about 2 hours a day in the winter), and add in for-fun rides or long training rides for the STP, and bam -- 10,000 miles.

I like the painting the bike idea, but I have ti, and it's so clean... Plus I'm saving up to get ghost flames painted on it

. I think I'll probably get some Ben & Jerry's to celebrate, and possible splurge on a new saddle.

oh, definitely a new saddle. And write something underneath it to commemorate! Once you're sure you have The saddle, of course.

Congratulations, terrific milestone!
