Made my annual goal today!
I made my mileage goal for 2005 today! Goal was 100 mi per week/ 5200 miles for the year. After today's 53 mile ride I'm at 5207. I know that's not a ton of miles for some of you, but for my 2nd full year of riding it's the most I've ever done in a year.
I wasn't sure when I set it if it was doable. I knew I had some major life changes coming this year. Through the end of May most of the mileage was regular commuting with occasional solo weekend rides. Due to Company bankruptcy I had to relocate to Dallas in July and start new job that required working weekends. My rides changed to regular group rides 3x weekly. But finding a regular long Tues ride let me average over 150 miles a week from Sept on and I was able to make my goal.
I feel good about it! Since I didn't have anyone else to share with that would know what that takes I thought I would share here. Thanks!
