@ascentale@sfba.social @MarkBrigham@universeodon.com @bikenite@fedigroups.social #bikeni Oh, I"m remembering BikeJournal which was pre-Strava and all that, jsut an online spreadsheet,
and when Howard and I challenged each other....
I have been mildly obsessed w/ getting to 5000 miles on the year. 500 per month would get me there at one pont... HOO BOY I got over 600 in May !!! THen 493 in June -- because also I have a vow NOT to let the numbers rule me.
This week I did The MOonlight Ride and the Wednesday Ride and ... yea, didn't ride in the rainyday much today but I got 562 in July.
I have to make myself stop doing mental arightmetic with thenumbers :P
BUT a fond memory of my 3rd bike club ride ever was when Rickey said "Oh, I've got 169,000 lifetime miles! But that's not a significant number," and .... I said "Well, it's 130 squared times ten!!" and then waited for the look ... but Rickey said "You're right!!! I need to go tell Clyde!!!
And I need to write a letter to Rickey :)
