So I ended up leaving home just after 9, it was about 39 F outside, brrr... I chose the flattest possible route if such a thing exists in the East Bay. Went down Danville Blvd. all the way to Dublin and back with a side in and out to Blackhawk, and arriving in Lafayette a 10 mile loop to Moraga. I was back home just after 1pm with 62 miles, my 5th longest ride of the year, and I have set a new yearly PR.

Final numbers: 2,000.8 miles, 132,777 ft of climbing both PRs. Great way to finish the year.
Congrats on making the goal Georges. Too many unforeseen interruptions prevented me cracking 3000 this year. Here's to 2011.
