For some reason, probably the heat. I didn't do a ride today and now I wish I did. That's a lot of miles you guys put on, congratulations.

Does that divide up evenly, or is it like, 305,000 + 5,000 + 5,000 + 5,000?

Congrats to all!

I thought I was doing well at ca. 100K cumulative miles. Your 4-person average is closing in on me. Way to go!

Why did I give up on my daily bike log routine. ? I strongly suspect I'd now be over 200 K. Braggard!... Congratulations. Think it was in part, I liked to break down mileage per bike. I have four bikes . It just got to be too much trouble.

This year we celebrated 220,000 miles of riding as a tandem duo. Took us just over 33 years and 5 tandems to accomplish that.
Anybody can do it . . . just be consistent.
Pedal on TWOgether!
