Big 40
I reached a milestone today 4000 miles for the year.
I marked the occasion by buying a 16 lb t-giving turkey and transporting in home on my bike.
My goal for the year was 3000
I have chosen to increase my skiing (I got in 81 days), hiking, snow shoeing and XC skiing, 4000 for this year still keeps me above a 5000/yr average for past 5 years.

81 days skiing and 4000 miles on the bike - you gotta be retired.
I am lucky to get 2000 miles and 40 days of skiing, damn work gets in the way...

30-40 years ago I guess I was also "recreational research specialist"....except I think it was called being a ski bum back then.
Skiing's a bit too far away now (3+ hours to the closest decent 'hill'). Gas is a killer also.
I've put way more miles on 2 bikes in the last 16 months than on my car (even counting driving to some organized rides 80 to 100 miles away). 5100+ so far this year.
