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

Mileage has really suffered due to work travel for the past 5 weeks and then one week for vacation - no bike . I hope to get back on track next week. Yearly mileage goal is 5000. Good start in January but ready to get back on track.

There has been a request for ages for the main page if you are comfortable giving it. I will add a column for those who are.

It's only a number :-)

Managed 177.6 miles this week. The weather is finally improving so it's time to enjoy riding as much as possible. I've set a goal of 800 miles for April, reaching the goal depends completely on how much free time I have after work, taking care of my house, taking care of my mom, and taking care of my mom's house.

On a different subject, I was able to ride my new bike yesterday and today.

LowCel, sweet looking bike. My local LBS here in S Florida is a Parlee dealer and keeps tempting me to try his to get me hooked.

That is absolutely stunning! Almost perfectly staged photo too, although the logos on your rear tyre don't seem to be square!? I would also put the Grand Prix 4000s logo to the top, but that's just me

Thank you. The logo's are weird, they are centered on the valve stem yet not centered on the top. I think you are right about the location of the GP4s logo as well. I already have a slit in the new front tire and the rear tire is older, I'll pay more attention next time.

Had to do the math - I'm 36.

Piss poor week last week - spent a lot of time on bike-related stuff, but not actually on the bike. Will have to make amends this week.

Same here. Looking forward to that first week when I can ride 7 straight.

BTW, WTF is going ON over there in the Bizarre-O mileage thread?

With this craptacular weather moving in me thinks our mileage is going to suck this week. Boss has already told us we will have a 2 hour delay tomorrow, and if weather forcast stays as is he will call a snow day.
