Well, today I broke 12,000 miles, in a span of three weeks shy of four years. I guess that doesn't mean that much -- after all, it's just another milestone along the road.
However, the fact that it coincides with the fourth anniversary of buying my present bike does lend it a bit of meaning.
First, 12,000 miles in four years means that my average mileage per year is now above 3,000 miles again, which hasn't been true since 2001.
Also, having done 3,621 miles so far in the 2003-2004 season (my season begins in mid-October) means that I've ridden more this year than any year before (my previous record being 3,400 miles in 2000-2001).
Finally, I thought I'd share the accompanying photo with you. Its color has not been altered in any way. I've often mentioned the special cycling sandals that I wear and the funny tan lines they produce, but I thought you might like to see for yourself (click for bigness). That's what spending about 200 hours outside in sandals will do to ya!
