I felt this was an accomplishment for riding under 1 week.
Good effort - it's always a boost to set a new personal best. The great thing is the desire to set a new PB will never go away.

For me if I'd done 9.99 miles I'd have rolled a little past the house to tip it over to 10. I've done that a few times when I get back home half a mile short of a nice round number, and taken a side street for long enough to roll it over the milestone.
