Today brings the first half of 2026 to a close. I have covered 1,400 miles so far this year. By this date in 2025, I had ridden only 894 miles. I’m happy with the difference, but a lot of work remains before I reach my goal of 3,075. Today’s ride was my 60th this year, so I’m averaging 23.33 miles per ride. That would be my lowest average since 2004, my first season of cycling, when I averaged only 16.52 miles per ride. I can’t live with that. Longer rides are coming soon.
Last year on this date, I reached 555 miles of walking. I finished 2025 with a personal record: 1,141 miles. This year, I have 600 miles already. I didn’t set a walking mileage goal for 2026. Nonetheless, a new PR is a strong possibility.
Strange but true: I didn’t plan to end the first half of the year with exactly 1,400 cycling miles and exactly 600 walking miles. It just worked out that way.
