Another very long cold and rainy year early on, I wasn’t sure I was going to hit my goals. It wasn’t until later in the year when things cleared up and I was fortunately able to exceed both my 2018 commuting and total miles for the year.

It did help by taking a 3.4 mile longer route (39.4 miles round trip opposed to the old 36 miles round trip) for most of my commutes with less hills making my commute time only slightly longer. I also got a new Velomobile (QuattroVelo) which made my commutes much more comfortable and allot of fun to ride. This helped with motivation to exceed my expectations and goals for both commuting and total mileage.

2019 goal, for my commute miles / # of commutes / total bike miles to be about the same as 2018.
1279 more commuting miles in 2019 than 2018.
992 more total miles in 2019 than 2018.
36 more commutes in 2019 than 2018.
1.85 more average miles per commute in 2019 than 2018.
2020 goal, for my commute miles / # of commutes / total bike miles to be about the same as 2019.
