Here\’s a high five for me!

Today my mileage total (road bike + hybrid) for 2018 passed the 5000 mark!

For a minute I was afraid it hadn\’t. I had double-checked by going over my week-by-week totals; adding them up in short columns of three or four weeks at a time, to make adding much easier. First I did the road bike\’s; and then the hybrid\’s. Then I added up the two grand totals.

I was dismayed to come up with 4778.47 miles. Uh-oh. Then I looked at the road bike\’s miles again, and saw that I had missed adding in three weeks\’ worth of miles. Those were the miles that brought my 2018 total to 5031.91. And I may get in another 100 or so by the time New Year\’s arrives. That\’s a great excuse for a high five.

Now, shall I aim for 6000 miles in 2019? Or is that getting overly ambitious?
