Commuting Milestone

I finally hit 1000 miles on my odometer today! I've been commuting by bike for about 2 years, but I've only been keeping track for the last year. I ride about 8.5 miles a day, so that works out to about 117 days.

I wanted to say thank you to everyone on the forums. I don't post often, but I read stuff all the time to keep motivated.

My new goal is another 1000 by the end of the year!

Awesome! When I bought my bike a couple of years ago in May, my goal was to reach 1000 miles by the end of the year. I surprised myself by far exceeding that, and I bet you do too. A year after that and I'm riding every single day. Stick with it!
