It was a joy to have lovely weather today in which to break a big milestone. When I went out to ride, at 8:45, it was sunny and 50°, and when I finished, it had climbed to 61°. I rode three consecutive round trips to Marsh Park, completing the 26 miles in 3:26.
Although my goal for 2016 is 3500 miles, for a while this summer it seemed to me that 4000 might be within reach. I suppose it still is, technically, but I'd have to average nearly 14 miles a day for the remainder of the year, no matter what the weather, and driving myself this hard just doesn't seem worth the effort. So I think I'll be satisfied with the not-inconsiderable achievement of 3500, and save 4000 for next year, when it should be more feasible.
