Today was a big, big day in my riding, as I went over 2000 total miles for the year. For someone as strongly oriented to numbers and statistics as I am, this is huge. I rode consecutive round trips to Marsh Park, in 1 hour and 32 minutes (17.5 miles).
After getting the trike on May 2, I completed my first 1000 miles on July 30, or in 90 days. The second 1000 took me 85 days, so it's nice to see that I'm picking up the pace a little as I go along.
I'm hoping I can do much better next year (well above 3000 miles), and it seems to be this should be feasible since I'll have the whole year rather than just a portion of it.
Even though I like to ride in the morning (the earlier the better), today I wanted to devote the morning to finishing up a handbell piece that I just began last night—I was 'in the zone,' and so wanted to press ahead with it while that was still the case. I was happy to finish it completely late morning, and then got my ride started about quarter to noon. But the reward for this delayed start was the opportunity to enjoy a lovely, sunshiny fall afternoon.
