110.27 to go.
OH I'M BEHIND ON MILES. Who else is behind???
I'm behind; my goal is 250 miles and I've ridden 72.4 miles. If I ride about 17 miles every day for the rest of the month, I can make it, but it's not very likely that I will ride that much on the rollers.
Being really sick for two weeks put a large dent in my December program.
The roads are covered in salt and "brine", both of which will rust/corrode a bike very fast. I plan on hauling my bike over to Oregon where they don't use salt on the roads, just gravel. The weather will have to warm up a bit for that to happen.
Such is life in the north during the winter...
