On September 6th (Labor Day), after recovering remarkably well from my metric century ride the day before, I rode a short, late-afternoon ride of 12.8 miles. My primary motivation for this ride was to surpass my 2009 total mileage mark of 1,475.5 miles. My ride the day before had left me only one mile shy of this mark, so it didn't take long for me to reach the celebratory point of today's ride. The 1.1 mile mark was on Indigo Court, not far from home. I took a couple of photos (one shown here) and rejoiced, not just for this achievement, but for two others as well:
-- The day before, I had completed my first metric century ride in 28 years.
-- During that ride, I surpassed the 5,000 mile mark since starting my "One for All" initiative in the spring of 2007.
Onward and upward! My next ride will likely carry me over the 1,500 mile mark, and who knows where my 2010 seasonal total will end. At this point, all additional miles are bonus miles!
