The 500 Club


Okay, so this isn't that much to many cyclists, but to me this is a big step. I have finally reached 500 miles on my bike! This is a LOT of cycling to me. You see, when I bought this bike 2 years ago, I also got a computer that tracks speed, distance, time, etc. Well, it has a lifetime counter as well. Today, I crossed 500 miles on this bike.

So far my lifetime stats on this 2008 Trek 7100 are:
506 miles
45 Hours, 25 minutes

This comes to an overall speed of 11.14 mph. This is not all that great, but it does include a lot of in town and through neighborhood miles, which are inherently slower. Of course that sounds like an excuse... maybe it is. All I know is that I have finally broken in this bike, and I hope to get another 500 miles in by the end of this year.

We shall see how that works out. I know that I can do it. Now it is a matter of just getting on my bike and riding!!
