My log said during 2002 I had 3 months with over 1,000 miles. Then each of the last 3 years I have had a bike tour.
My tours have been from about 400 to 900 miles.
Getting that kind of mileage is not that difficult if you commute and ride with a club... One member of my club suspects he has ridden over one million miles?? He is working on a 300 mile day? I work compressed days and have off more days per week than most.. When I am at home and my wife at work, I ride, ride , ride. She wishes I would do more yard work...
Yes what about mowing,house upkeep,kids,washing cars,cleaning house,work,all that other stuff?Oh i see your in fallbrook.Back in the early 70's,thats where i got the best pot i ever had,truly one hit stuff.Your not growing that stuff so you really dont have to work are you?LOL
