Well, for the first time ever I've ridden 1,000 miles in a season! Yesterday was abover 50 here in Michigan, and I was lacking only about 25 miles for my 1,000, so I took the afternoon off and made it out the door just in time for it to start pissing down on me. Once thoroughly soaked I did a couple of loops, during which time I found that, gee, it is really windy, I guess the weatherman is right. Made it back to the turnaround, and then had about 30 minutes of leg-burning, gear-grinding effort to get home at about 15mph. I actually came within about a gnat's eyelash of getting blown over twice.
Was it the best ride ever? Nope. Did I make my goal? Yep!
The best thing is that while trying to hit the 1,000 I've been both training and bike commuting. So, really, I've got about 1,400 miles this year; the 1,000 is a 'pure' 1,000 counting only time on my race bike.
Wahoo!!
