Fifty Plus (50+) - Fifty+ Forum reaches another milestone!

Today when I entered my ride on bikejournal.com, I got a pleasant surprise. My lifetime mileage, since picking up a bike a year ago last June, hit exactly 3,000 miles today.

And I've been on this forum from Day One. You are all to be congratulated for your patience, your support, your advice. But mostly your patience! You've put up with me for a looooooong time!

And, by the way, this marks my 1,718th post. Each and every one insightful, on topic, and pithy, as I'm sure you'll all agree.

So, a toast to the forum which has put up with the likes of me for 3,000 miles. I'd buy you all a beer, but first I'd have to get your advice as to which one! :D

Only from day one- Seems like longer. Well done on the milage. Taking my Road milage from away this year, because it is so easy to knock up the miles on a New 19lbs bike that is perfectly set up for me and was new when I bought it and is even in the colour that I wanted and of a brand that is well known and respected and was bought without a great deal of thought or pestering of the forum as to what should I get, I reckon you have done a higher milage than me this year. And that is without you having done a 100miler yet, or even one of the higher milage organised rides.

Well done but could do with more postings on the best pie to get, or how to store the thing in the lounge or what is the best way to change the headset.

I'm surprised that I had to think of Craigslist for you!

That makes a riding-to-posting ratio of...let's see, 1.7462 to 1.

We already had this thread - along with a poll!

So let's say you averaged about 5 minutes per mile (12 mph), that's 250 hours of riding...Well done!! But you probably spent 10 minutes reading and writing for each post, so that's 286 hours of writing about riding--what's wrong with this ratio????

Congrats, Gary for making this forum a great place to spend non-riding time. And I'll have Pete's Wicked Ale.

Root for me. By April 30, 1988 I'd consumed enough beer to last me for the rest of my life.

I am allowed to accept either a Fat Tire or a Sam Adams.:D

Shiner Bock, please.

I'll have a Saint Arnold's Elissa, and cheers to ya! :beer:

Right now I'm drinking a Moose Drool brown ale by Big Sky Brewing Co. Yum! But best beer I can get in the U.S. is Aventinus Eisbock. Bavarian dark hefeweissen, aged at temps about 30 F. 12% alcohol and just like candy. Yum Yum Yum.:) :) :)

Just popped the top of my first Fat Tire, and whoa! I'm hooked. Yummmm!:)
