For my first year commuting, I think I did pretty good. A little under 1000 miles. Sure, I could have done better, but between work trips and 3 solid weeks of toting a heavy and expensive laptop (via car) I did miss out on some miles. There were a few days I was a wimp. But I am happy with my first year under my belt. I have learned a lot, have a pretty good route, and if I can just get over this sickness I will be back in the saddle ASAP!
