Well, I'm pleased (and a little proud) to report that I not only made the 6k goal, but exceeded it a bit at just over 7900 feet. This is a new personal record for me so I want to thank the OP for getting this started.
But for the folks that are checking inwith the big numbers... Over two- and three-times the thread goal.. Why rain on our parade with the taunts of riding far over this monthly goal in a single ride? Be smug about your prowess but consider giving us "100-watt wonders" a thread of our own...
Thanks again to the OP for putting this up as it was great fun and I'm much the better for taking up the challenge.
