With a surge of fantastic Wisconsin autumn weather, I had a chance to ride for a few hours yesterday.  With about 45 miles for the day, it pushed my total year-to-date up over the 3,000 mile mark!  That was my goal for the year. 

Every mile I add now goes above my goal and adds to my personal record number of miles.  (Actually my personal best was about 2,650 last year, so I kicked butt on that already.)

September was my best month of the year with nearly 534 miles in that one month alone.  It helped that I rode a century ride on the 29th.  I rode alone and just wondered through the “wilderness” of SE Wisconsin.  OK, maybe it’s not really wilderness, but I did get onto a lot of roads that I hadn’t been on before.  That was quite enjoyable.

What made the 100 mile ride even better was that just 4 days prior I had intended to ride 100 miles, but had to stop early.  The cold headwind beat me.  But the conditions turned around and I was blessed with an opportunity to ride.

Since it’s still early in October perhaps I can get up to 3,500 miles this year.  It’s possible as long as we get some dry weekends through November.
