Also, I'm thirteen miles shy of my monthly mileage target already, and I'm on a pace to do 4,500 miles this year. Not saying I'm going to do that, but I like how my year is starting out.
Great going, Gary! I can see Linda and I are going to have to work to keep up with you. Remember, wind is just an invisible hill!
