First 1,000 miles!

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

First 1,000 miles!

Just went over the 1,000 mile mark! Not bad for 5 months of riding and a knee surgery in the middle. Broke the mark on a 800ft hill climb this afternoon. My goal is to get 3,000 miles total in 2011. I wish I had discovered cycling years ago.

Definately don't have time for that. I'm shooting for about 300-400 miles per month.
