when the year started, threw up the same 5,000 miles ridden goal that i've hit fairly consistently for the last decade. between work ramping up
and the unseasonably cool/wet weather in socal this year, at less than 900 miles. now that it's warmed up, cautiously optimistic the new goal of 3,000
miles can be attained. only riding 2x a week at most now vs 3-5x a week in the past so really need to ramp up the mileage and average a 50-miler
every ride. the incidental, but helpful for semi-form and junk miles, "lunch rides" of 15-22 miles that were actually to/from lunch before work are largely a thing of the past.
those added up to roughly 100 miles every month. the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
