2020’s First Thousand Miles

Today's ride, enjoyed counterclockwise.


On today’s ride I finally surpassed 1,000 miles, year-to-date. It’s always my desire to hit that mark by the end of April, but in recent years the needle has been moving in the wrong direction:

Well, at least I’ve gotten there. Now I’m going to shoot for 2,000 miles by the end of June. That won’t be easy, but what else do I have to do? I’ve become convinced that the one thing I can achieve in an otherwise lost season is a big mileage total. It’s up to me and no one else, and it’s independent of the fortunes of the races I would like to do and the economy by which I would like not to be forsaken.
