Bike miles for 2004.

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I vividly remember the ride I did when I first met Terrry. We were doing the Coastal Classic Ride (basically from Silicon Valley over to the ocean and back up Tunitas Creek Rd. and descending back into the valley) last spring. I was struggling up Tunitas Creek Rd. with hardly a breath to spare and Terry was pedaling along right next to me, yakking away, telling me how much he liked to climb, how he preferred climbs to descents, blah, blah, blah. Needless to say, it was pretty much a one-sided conversation on Terry's part! I beat him on the downhill, though!

Seriously though, thanks for riding with me, Terry!

I can't resist, because getting on the bike almost every day is the only thing I'm good at

10,213 miles (16,432.6 km)

300 riding days

Way down on last year's 13,086 miles (21,056 km)

I try to average 4,500 to 5,000 miles a year, but this year I was down due to moving across country, then injured both hands, so my miles this year was only about 2,950. Oh well, on to the next year. One note of interest; I recalculated my total miles on my 84 Trek 660 based on some old records I found for it that popped up after I moved and found I was over estimating the miles; the current miles going into 2005 will be about 143,000 (includes miles for 2004).

I remember that ride. I was glad to have your wheel to follow out to San Gregorio. Thanks for the pull. I'm terrible into the wind or on a downhill. That's the downside of being gravitationally challenged. I just built up a sub-15 lb. climbing bike, which should make me faster uphill but slower downhill. Sure enough, I tried it down Highway 9 on its maiden ride. It felt slow downhill.

I haven't seen you in a while, Steve. Are you doing the AV B rides on Saturday? Maybe I should give that a try. They're hilly, aren't they? I hope so.

Yeah, I'm still doing them. I haven't mapped out any hilly rides recently because of either excessive motorist traffic on Skyline between Thanksgiving and Christmas or rain and wet pavement on the weekends. If the weather looks good this Saturday, I'll probably try and do either OLH or Kings. I had guest ride leaders on Christmas and New Year's Days but the ride went as planned last Saturday. Not much wetness from above but we got pretty wet from the pavement.

8,971 miles on 213 ride days. I only planned on riding 7K miles, but the weather was fairly good for Pittsburgh during 2004. This year's goal is 7,000 miles on the road and 1,000 miles of running.

2500 km. 2 kids. 1 wife. 1 job. 1 life. 24 hrs/day. 7-8 hrs/day sleep.

Will probably do more in 05 (mileage, not the rest).

Not counting the basement miles on the trainer (Nov to March).

Also ran approx 600 km.

2350 miles. I REALLY wanted to hit 2500, but lost days due to crappy weather here in SoCal the last week of the year. I woulda done it thought!

If anything it is still 750 miles more than I did last year.

2005 I'm going for 3000 miles!

This is my first season riding and my goal was 1,500 miles and from May to Dec 31 I rode 1,796 miles on my road bike. I am happy with that given my limited time to ride...I gave up golf to pick up cycling. From the looks of things, I have a long way to go to "catch" some of you. WOW! Keep it up & so will I.

In March of '04 I got back into cycling after a ten year lay off, but managed to rack up 3000+ miles by early Oct.
