Another breaks 1000

Broke a thousand mikes this evening. Also broke 270 lbs this morning. My mileage goal was two thousand for the year, but I think I'm gonna have to up that.

Bravo! I love the photo. I'm kicking myself for not arranging a photo when I hit 1000.

Was kind of a coincidence, I ran into a friend (another clyde I'm trying to help get into cycling actually) on the way to a church softball game and I just arranged my ride to hit 1000 at the game and had a friend take the picture.

I'm eagerly awaiting a new one actually. December I hope. Not sure what I'm going to get, I'm torn in several (very different directions). But in an ideal world that yellow one will be reborn as a tri bike, as I'm hoping to take a shot at some triathlons next year.
