2012 Summary

With the blizzard of 2012 upon us, all my hopes for another ride this year has been dashed. Now I can only wait till it warms up next spring. With any luck it'll be a short cold snap, and I'll be riding again fairly soon.

List of firsts for me this year:

Over 1,000 miles in a single month:
1,070 miles in September
1,037 miles in July

Over 5,000 miles in a year:
Yearly total at 5,267 miles (over 5,100 miles in only 8 months)
My previous record was 3,700 miles made last year

Over 300 miles in a single week:
318 miles in the first week of July
396 miles in the second week of September

Over 120 miles in a single ride:
July 27th my first ever 200K ride (127 miles)
September 13th my first ever 300K ride (187 miles)



I now have close to 9,000 miles on the Musashi, in under 2 years with an average overall speed greater then 18 MPH. The bike has gone through two chains, two front tires and three rear tires.

I'm looking forward to putting even more miles on in 2013.

Thanks for all your support by reading my blog, the page hits and comments help to keep me motivated to ride more. I'm now around 6,700 hits.
