TOTAL MILEAGE FOR 2016 - 2804.8
The rain which assaulted us so heavily yesterday persists—though it is much lighter today. However, combined with the drenched trail, it left me absolutely soaked following my ride this morning. I went out at 9:00, and rode consecutive round trips to Marsh Park, in a 60° sprinkle, covering the 18 mlles in 2:12.
Having reached another milestone today (2800 miles), I am moved to reflect on my progress for the year so far. It seems to me that it should be relatively a sure thing (barring mechanical or health issues) to make my goal of 3500 miles for the year, and I even have an outside shot at 4000. But this would take an enormous amount of discipline, averaging 400 miles/month for the next 3 months, and I have only ridden 400 miles in 5 of the 17 months I have so far ridden during 2015-2016.
