I'm not even keeping milage. Of course then I don't ride with anyone so I never get dropped!
My schedule allows me to only ride in the early morning as a year round commuter of 14 miles. IMO the early morning temps around Boston are not continuously inviting enough to extend my mileage until May through October. I think early morning riders get an extra four weeks of winter.
BTW are you from Hopedale? On extended rides I sometimes get out to nearby Milford.
